I don't use that unless I have to for whatever reason. AskUbuntu is a great place to find good answers for many questions and Ubuntu Forums is a not bad place too. Not directly about PPA thought: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1946145 > > I would also like to ask you if you have done a major update with that > PPA enabled, or if you simply do a clean install between Ubuntu > versions? > That is a good question but unfortunately, I am the wrong person who could answer this :D I have done a system upgrade from a release to another one time only as far as I remember and I don't think I had any PPA. I always do a clean install. In fact, I don't have time to use any system because I contribute and do lots of tests, etc: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad Also, I am not a fan of 'new' releases. As long as everything is working fine, I won't bother and waste my time to upgrade or do a clean install :) that is why, I chose Xubuntu 12.04.3 to be my main system so I don't have to do clean install nor upgrade every 6 months.
