I suppose I should pack in my two boxes then...hrm...nope I think I'll keep 'em.<BR/><BR/>*chuckle*.<BR/><BR/>As far as upgrading vs. installing fresh...on one of my boxes, I don't have the option right now of installing fresh without significant hassles that I really don't have the energy for, so went through updates sequentially from Dapper up through Gutsy, and switched to Xubuntu from Ubuntu in the process (with a 5.5G hard drive, I was running into space issues during the upgrades, and cleaning and removing packages between each upgrade).<BR/><BR/>So, it is doable, and my laptop works well, but you're right, it's not for the feint of heart, and is definitely not for someone not fully comfortable with a CLI.<BR/><BR/>And the desktop? Reinstalled fresh. My Kubuntu install was messed up to begin with and I was just waiting for Gutsy to be released before I went through the motion of reinstalling anyway. :)She who was once called Betsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13596955466991883171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-74581500257271334472007-10-26T19:06:00.000-05:002007-10-26T19:06:00.000-05:002007-10-26T19:06:00.000-05:00RomanN,<BR/><BR/>Luck, good writing a being linked from much bigger sites.

I should reply in a different post, but since this is the most recent, I will try here. <BR/>You said to backup your home folder. I used the Simple Backup program and successfully got a backup.<BR/>The question I ask is if you just copied you home folder or gziped it?<BR/>Keep up the blog!lsutigerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07481858487236856366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-54138632541828014512007-10-25T18:02:00.000-05:002007-10-25T18:02:00.000-05:002007-10-25T18:02:00.000-05:00Huh, I've been having exactly the same issue with my girlfriend. Explaining all the advantages of running Linux instead of Vista, as security, reliability, heaps of fantastic blogs (sucker:)) But I got a little bit closer when installed Compiz-Fusion and showed her how it was. Apparently, it didn't work too steady, so she was afraid that it would fall and she wouldn't know how to fix it without my help. But things changed when I sold my 1501 a week ago and bought a new Vostro 1500 with GF video card. Plus the new Kubuntu was relased. Timing couldn't be better. Everything started running so smooth and installing went without any problem so I'm installing Gutsy on her Compaq within next few days or so :) <BR/>Wish you all good luck, convincing your better halves to leave the Dark Side :))<BR/><BR/>P.S. I sold my 1501 doesn't mean I'm going to stop visiting this blog :), I started to like this place too much!<BR/><BR/>Kartofel, PolandKartofelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07840324863930001435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-43623323847751675172007-10-25T17:20:00.000-05:002007-10-25T17:20:00.000-05:002007-10-25T17:20:00.000-05:00My wife uses XP on her Dell 600M BUT . . . she is now using Open Office 2.3 (one step at a time - gotta do withdrawal slowly!). On her wireless 15.4 laptop (System76) she reluctantly uses Ubuntu. Sometimes it's a slow process. I look at what I can do; she looks at familiar signposts (i.e., menus, looks, brand-name apps), but I will report on her true conversion when the Ubuntu English/Chinese interface works 100%.<BR/><BR/>Great Blog, man - always interesting, as well as your, er, other blog - (ah! to be young again . . . .)Luobotouhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04790699792905089712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-9320892899488286842007-10-25T13:16:00.000-05:002007-10-25T13:16:00.000-05:002007-10-25T13:16:00.000-05:00I rather see you start a debian1501.blogspot.com, ever since I have Ubuntu I've been ''flirting'' with Debian..Cabby Morenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00398032613963356290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-37996947451982116672007-10-24T10:26:00.000-05:002007-10-24T10:26:00.000-05:002007-10-24T10:26:00.000-05:00Whats so bad about that?<BR/><BR/>I dual boot windows and linux and I use both (although linux more, cuz I have more games installed on it ;))<BR/><BR/>The rest of my family uses windows because they think that you have to go into the terminal to use the internet...
