Migrating from 32-bit to 64; Hardy makes keyboard work

[Paul DeShaw]

Greetings,

I've been running 32 bit Ubuntu Studio (Gutsy) on my AMD 64 desktop, and I
notice the latest release is available in 64 bit version.  If I move my
/home directory to its own partition, and install the new 64 bit version,
using the old /home, will the settings and whatnot stored in /home wreak
havoc with the new system?  Are there some things that should be removed?

In Hardy, for the first time there is kernel support for the keyboard
controller/audio interface I have,  I have confirmed this by installing in
my Apple laptop; the keyboard just works, for both MIDI and audio.  It never
worked in previous versions, so I'm anxious to get Hardy installed on the
desktop so I can finally experience 64 bit speed with a working interface.
This is going to require major surgery on the hard drive if I wan to use my
current /home with a fresh install, so I need all the help I can get.

Thanks,

Paul
