I've been running Ubuntu Server on my 'NAS' system which lives in my garage and having that has overcome the reasons I didn't move to Ubuntu on my main system. So................. If I want to do a slow migration from Fedora 8 to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS are there any major issues I should be aware of? I have masses of disk space and (for example) when I migrated from F7 to F8 I just did a new install of F8 which dual booted with F7 and I migrated my customisations across. /home is on its own partition. Can I do the same with Ubuntu? I.e. can I install Ubuntu on its own partition and leave F8 intact and then boot one or the other as required until I'm happy with the new Ubuntu installation? Will Ubuntu and Fedora 'co-operate' with how they see Grub, /boot, etc.? -- Chris Green -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> Here's a guide that can help: <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromLinux">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromLinux</a> Cheers, -- "It is human nature to think wisely and act in an absurd fashion."
