... Hi Geoffrey, I believe that "option 2" would be your best plan of attack. You can load the files from your backup copy of your old home directory.That's basically what I do as I've never really had much luck with upgrading. I prefer to do a fresh install for a new release& copy across my backed up data.
Hi Geoffrey,Please be aware that Mitch's experience with upgrades is certainly not a "normal" experience. Ubuntu (and Debian, from which it originated) is designed to be easily upgraded. My laptop has been upgraded from hardy -> intrepid (not very long spent there) -> jaunty -> karmic and i have been very happy with the success of upgrades.
(This may not change which option you choose, but please don't assume that upgrades are bad - they aren't.)
Also, be aware that the first month after a stable release will probably result in quite a number of packages being updated to fix important bugs. If your ISP plan has an off-peak time, you may want to leave your PC on overnight and schedule updates to occur then.
