Moving from Hardy

[Dave In Sidney]

Hi!

I'm currently running Hardy and plan on upgrading to Karmic until the next LTS comes out.

My current system has plenty of space on the "OS" partition and a separate data partition for /home. I plan on adding Karmic in a separate partition (repartitioning the current "OS" partition) and maintaining both for a while. As I wasn't crazy about KDE 4 under Hardy, so I *may* end up on Ubuntu Karmic instead of Kubuntu Karmic, but that will be a ways off.

Now the questions:
- Any obvious issues with this technique?
- Any gotchas?
- Other suggestions?

TIA,
Dave

Sounds good! I was also wondering about any issues with GRUB2 and multiple distros, but it seems that wasn't a problem for you.

Thanx for the speedy reply!

Well, I was plannin' on waitin' a week or so before doing things to see what the issues were anyway; this just gives further impetus to that decision.
