In "general" I have to disagree, if we don't ask when we don't know we'll never 
progress.

On this particular matter I should probably have concluded that if I have not 
done it yet (on linux) there was a good reason

On windows I have done the equivalent since 1980's and have all my old data on 
the same disk, it's really a "my grandfathers axe" thing (Triggers Broom for 
those who dont read Terry Pratchett) 

I thought I could do much the same with Linux, for a long while it was not 
worth it, as I moved around from one *nix to another, (Sco Unix, Sun Java, 
Mandrake and on) it was not until Warty that I stayed with the same basic 
system and even then I did fresh install over each till Karmic came along then 
I upped to the LTS (Lucid) and have (for the most part) done LTS to LTS update 
"inplace" ever since 

Thanks for your patience
