I might actually "pull my finger out" and change my Xubuntu box over

kernel.
However, I am hoping I can do this while hanging onto my HOME partition
. . .
Can this be done?
Yes, I did exactly this a few years ago (in fact, I think I went 32-bit,
to 64-bit, to 32-bit, and back to 64-bit, bringing my /home all the
way).
Unless you have custom-compiled programs in /home, you should be fine.
Otherwise, you may need to compile them again, or install 32-bit
compatibility libraries (because 64-bit Linux can still run 32-bit
programs). Good luck!

P.S. I recommend making good backups first, of course. But I'm sure you
already have them. :-)
