[Nelug] Advice on setting up a home server: UBUNTU

[Peter Holmes]

Hi.  Like the review of ubuntu - been interested for a while.
Am using MDK10.1 CE on  piece of testing equipment and not without
continuing problems.  MDK10.2 gave me some REAL headaches so am back
to 10.! for the
present.
My query is: will ubuntu upgrade an existing installation without hacking?

Not a sever, BTW
