Get another machine, upgrade that, and then slowly migrate services from the production server to the new machine. When everything's migrated over then you can upgrade the ex-production server. Just because the OS hasn't cost you $$$ doesn't mean that you shouldn't follow best practices when using it. Also, make sure you've got a good reason to go to 3.1. If 2.2.8 does everything you need, and is stable, then why bother upgrading?
