LOL the separate Home partition is actually one of my other reasons for
wanting to do a fresh install as well. Would you know of any easy to
understand, yet modern guides for doing this? I have read a few books that
described doing it on RedHat 2 or 3 I think. But they were from way way back
when 1 GB of Hard Drive space was considered massive. So a modern look at the
topic would help alot. :-D I did watch an episode of Linux Action Show that
gave a pretty good tutorial about how to go about it. But I have no idea how
to do a fresh install (on a system that already has the separate HOME
partition in place) while keeping all my apps and their settings. Though
Ubuntu Tweak seems like it can help with that.
And Thank you @MagicFab for mentioning the ownCloud services! I was wondering
if there were some, but didn't know where to look, or if they would even
"advertise" about that being a benefit / feature. I'll check around and get
back with ya. :-)
@icarious, Yup, I started out in GNU/Linux before I even knew what it was. A
really old laptop I had stopped recognizing the CD/DVD drive and after a
short couple searches, some how stumbled upon installing Ubuntu. All I knew
back then, in the days of 9.04, was that it was sooooo customizable, and that
is was free as is price. And it made that Laptop work like new again. So I
fell in love with it. And its been a journey of growing and learning ever
since. :-)
And as far as I know, I don't have any reliance on any 12.04. But I'll let
you guys know if I find any problems.
God Bless ya's and Thank you! I'll check back with progress.
