Upgrading to 11.04

[aj4rk]

I currently have 10.10 installed on my machine and wish to upgrade to 11.10. Can this be done without losing all the programs and hardware drivers that I currently have installed?

Yes you can & your upgrade sequence will be like this
10.10 -> 11.04 -> 11.10 .

You not gonna loose any of your data 99.99% and drivers too . But i think your graphics driver needs some update (re install) . But one thing while doing while doing any upgrades its always better to have your IMP data as back up .

No problem to your applications , they will be fine .
