I'm a real beginner, so pardon if this is a stupid question, but I just want to clarify before I upgrade.
I'm presently running Ubuntu 8.0.4 and would like to upgrade to 8.10. When I do this upgrade, will it affect any data or settings I have in my curent system?
Of course I'll back up important things, but can I expect a clean install of the newer version? Or does it work sort of like those "updates" from Microsoft, which leave your information intact?
Also, if anyone has any idea if the Broadcom wireless problems are any easier with 8.10, I'd like to know that.
Again, sorry for the dumb question, but I just want to know what kind of time this installation will take and what changes it will make in my data.
Thanks in advance. The help on this forum is outstanding.
