I am running 10.04 since it came out, I have all the updates
installed and still have Fire Fox 3.6.20.
So even if you load new which I just did on another PC as dual boot, and
loaded 10.03.4. which
is the latest download.
I have gone with the seperate / and home partitions, which make it
nice to load which ever Linux
you want. Just remember the 2 basic rules of Unix/Linux administratrion.
First rule is back up your
system, second rule is don't break the first rule. Also another
sugestion is to add another drive
or swap the drives. I tried that on my test PC, and unless you can leave
them inside the PC and
boot from selected drives in BIOS, or have it set up for dual boot to
the other drive, don't swap
the drives, because of a chance of damage due to static discharge, it
only takes one zap to kill
a drive no matter how carefull you think you are in handleing the drives.
I have used the Gparted Live CD and keep one handy to create my
drives and it works real slick,
or you can use the built in partition manager of the 10.04 live CD which
I believe uses Gparted also.
I would suggest you will have to use the live CD to repartition the
drive rather than an online upgrade.
So if you download the ISO and create a live CD you will get the latest
10.04.4, or maybe 10.04.3 I
would have to look at my latest to see what I loaded. Once it is loaded
the update is a lot shorter,
I had a 10.04.1 and the update took about 3 hours of four hundred and
some updates, and if you
can hook up to the network with a cable, it will go a lot faster than
using WiFi, or at my house it does
anyway.
