Hi, have a question, last time I upgraded ubuntu from gutsy to hardy my compiz was corrupted after the upgrade, and I did have some experimental plugins installed like snow and the aquarium one, anyways, I tried fixing it, uninstalling compiz totally and this still hung around. I would assume that compiz was broken where compiz was upgraded to a new version and the experimental plugins never did upgrade. So I did a new install of hardy in the end. My question is, that if I install lots of programs and tweak my system and all that, am I going to have a broken system again when I upgrade because something didnt upgrade that needed to that I installed or tweaked, that is my worry, I understand programs will update that I install from the package manager, I see those updates for things I have installed. But if I compile a program and install it that way, will it not be updated like other programs? Bottom line is, I love ubuntu and I want to take advantage of all it offers but I dont want a system that breaks or programs that don't work anymore after a new system upgrade. Thanks for anyones help.
