Whenever I make a fresh install, I usually repartition my hard disk and, under manual partitioning, create 3 or 4 8-9 Gig partitions and one big partition which is mounted as /home. I use the 3 or 4 smaller partitions for various distros. One for my old working distro, the others for a new version of the distro or even another distro altogether. Thus, I can retain my old version while installing a newer version, and my old data, mounted as /home, will still be there. This also allows me to try other distros, in case they turn out to be better.
