It's fine. No trouble going from Ubuntu 6.10 to 7.04 over the Internet. My Debian box has been similarly apt-get -u dist-upgrade'd after the past few years.
I don't think you can (or it's not a very good idea) go from 6.04 to 7.04 without hitting 6.10 in between, make sure you read the docs if you do try that. Other than that I've not had any problems with ubuntu or debian upgrades in the past other than self inflicted things because I didn't read the docs or had fiddled with things the installer/upgrader wasn't capable of understanding and even then they were always a very quick fix.
