Hi Stephen,

Not sure what you mean by installing "over the top of 11.10"? I'd say its best 
to do a proper upgrade,
or ask it to reformat everything and wipe off 11.10. (you would have saved your 
data files?)

If you are already running 11.10 and want to *test* 12.04, I'd suggest you run 
in a Virtual environment:
VirtualBox or KVM.  It does mean though that you will be stuck no 2D 
environment. (although VirtualBox may
allow the 3D environment, if u want to try out full Unity 5.2, but its very 
slow).
