I recently completed an Ubuntu install on my laptop with 32-bit Jaunty. I have 4 gigs of RAM in my system so am thinking of moving to 64-bit. I know I cannot just upgrade - but I have my /home directory on another partition and would like to keep that through the install.
I know the basics of doing this during the install but was wondering if there will be any security/permission issues when I do this. Will the new, 64-bit Ubuntu be able to read all the files with a different user account? Or will I have to take ownership of the files with the new OS?
