installing OS over itself

Tue Jan 22 02:06:41 UTC 2013

IIRC at one time it was possible to install Ubuntu over a previously
installed one. Still possible? If so what is the effect on installed
apps? I've read a few horror stories about the new install deleting the
core files, leaving an unbootable computer.
