Thanks for the info. The main reason I have never tried upgrades is that 
I usually keep on using a particular distro for a long time and by the 
time I am ready to move on the distro itself has moved on by 3 or 4 
versions. So it would never be a case of moving by one version. Also I 
have not always stayed with the same distro. I have been using Linux for 
over 12 years now and I have used Suse, Mandrake (now Mandriva) Kubuntu, 
Mint in various guises and now Xubuntu.

But I take your point. So I could move up to version 12.10 of Xubuntu 
quite easily if I wished by doing an upgrade as opposed to a fresh 
install, is that correct? But would that be of great advantage?

Thanks

Neil
