[ubuntu-uk] apt-get distupgrade (to gutsy)

[Pete Stean]

Can I suggest that you put your /home (where you have all your work
and play files) on a separate physical partition or indeed on a
separate disk from the main os

I have my system set up like that and it doesn't matter what I do to
bork the installation because all my personal files are safely
elsewhere...
