Hy Mike!
Don't know when you checked the Ubuntu website but Hoary was released
today!

I don't know what kind of stuff you got tweaked, but if you keep your
home directory, nothing of your personal tweaks will get lost.
In a default install (not 100% sure), everything get's put in one
partition. I always create an extra partition for my /home. That way,
after a fresh install, I always end up with my exact same preferences
and and data.

With kind regards,
