Thomas,
You lose the applications as well when you upgrade - I think
particularly if you use a disc - someone can comment on a net
install/upgrade.
When the upgrade is done, you have to go through the hustle of
reinstalling software that is not on the cd or basic installation.
That implies development environments, tweaks and packages of all kinds
have to be reinstalled to get the system to what you want it to be.
So be it an upgrade or a clean install, you have to install certain
packages afresh.
Regards,
BM.

David,
How about the thousands and thousands of applications installed over the
internet?
Actually this has been the biggest hindrance to upgrading for me. When
ever I think of the applications I have installed and how I came across
them, ofcourse I think of the internet capacity consumed and if I am to
have a fresh install, I shall have to re consume it to have the
applications back.

Going to hang on a little while, to iron out the bugs. Love
the fact you can upgrade straight from the DVD though, don't
need to use the alternate DVD. That is a big improvement. I
hope they expand that to allow upgrading from say 10.04 --->
11.04 etc.
Didn't even know about that, but it sounds good. 'Upgradability' has
never been an important criteria for me as I always do a fresh clean
install- I like having a new pristine environment without any issues
carrying over from a previous install. It's so easy to just copy your
data files over that I don't find the potential issues with upgrading
worth it.
