Yes, but remember to select manual partitioning when you install to prevent the installation process to overwritek your home partition. And make a full backup of that partition first in case something goes wrong. > What packages would cause me trouble in 64 bit Debian? I have been using 64-bit Debian and Ubuntu systems for a long time and the only thing I cannot do is using my scanner for which there is no opensource driver and only a 32-bit linux driver. I have solved this problem by running a 32-bit system in VirtualBoX so whenever I want to scan, I do it from the 32-bit guest.
