:-) all the advise i gave you was for 9.10 so sure it will work.

and am quite happy that you are able to connect to the net via Ubuntu.
Now you can enjoy real freedom.

regarding having to reformat

my suggestion to all Linux newcomers make sure you partition your hard
disk to have a separate /home - this will mean you never have to worry
about your data being lost in a reinstall or new install

My typical partition scheme looks like this

/dev/sda1: ="IBM_PRELOAD" TYPE="ntfs" 15 GB
/dev/sda2: = SHARED "ntfs" 20 GB
/dev/sda4: = ext4 Boot 100 MB
/dev/sda6: LABEL=Swap" 4 GB
/dev/sda7: = ext4 /(or root) 15 GB
/dev/sda8 = ext 4 /home - 100 GB

As you can see the last partition is /home where i keep my data i have
never had to reinstall / reformat this partition and the only time i
had to do so was when shifting from ext3 to ext 4 for which i backed
my home up in an external drive (normal procedure to be followed for
safe data keeping) and then changed to ext4 and voila back to normal.

/dev/sda9: UUID="5333b440-117c-482d-9033-d6533ca45710" TYPE="ext4"
