ThanksNo -- or at least, you didn''t on earlier upgrades. It''s just an OS upgrade, not wiping your HD. But make a backup if you''re nervous.

I don''t update my Ubuntu during 6 months between releases.
It''s easier for
me to format HDD and setup everything from scratch in one day. When you do
automatic updates, or release update without reinstallation - the strange
things could happen. I always had to fix something with my hardware after
updates. When it was 7.04. That''s easier for me to not upgrade my
system
when everything works, then be like "Aahh. Not again :(". And spend
half a
day for fixing.
That''s funny when guys in forums complains: "OMG Help! The system
won''t
start after update!". And I''m always want to ask: why do you need
that?
Backup all data and do a fresh install when you got a time for that. And If
you don''t - just let it be. Upgrade later, when you''ll be
ready to spend a
time, if something will go wrong.

I''ve never had a problem with it. I have 3 servers in my garage that started as Ubuntu 5.04 systems, they now run 9.04.. all upgrades after the first install. My desktop system at work started as a 7.04 system several years ago, it now runs 9.04, upgraded it twice with no issues. I gotta think you''re not doing something right when you upgrade. I just don''t have the problems you describe. And using your own words.. even if you do have an issue, taking half a day to fix it still beats taking a whole day reinstalling from scratch. I just couldn''t imagine reinstalling every system I own or use everytime a new version was released. -- Greg Donald destiney.com | gregdonald.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
