I guess if it all goes wrong technically you should still be able to boot from a live CD and copy anything important off onto a USB stick/USB hard drive etc although if you have any absolutely vital data I'd back this up to be safe (I mean it's important to keep backups anyway, hardware can and does fail). > Aren't I a coward? ;) Not really, I think most people will probably be running Ubuntu on standard PC hardware, although technically a Mac now is pretty much just a fancy more expensive PC there's always the risk it might have some quirk that isn't supported.
