er.. sorry i forgot to mention i tend to keep just 2 or 3 versions of ubuntu on my hardisk. as i watch and finetune the latest one, the one previous to that sits comfortably in another partition for my work and don't wanna mess with that. another partition may also contain ubuntustudio. this setup has so far worked comfortably and have been able to stay abreast with the latest versions and development while keeping my work and cilents happy with no downtime on my distro. :-) niyam _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - September 28-29, 2007 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
