[NBLUG/talk] Ubuntu upgrade question

[Jordan Erickson]

Hey Emanuel,

I'm sure it really depends on how far back you are on updates. Your best 
bet is to back up your system/data and just give it a go. If things go 
awry, you can always just do a fresh install and drop your data back. No 
real reason to go back to Windows either way ;)


Cheers,
Jordan
