...I'll have to swap three systems over but it's a very easy thing to do without losing anything. All documents AND settings are kept in your Home folder. Back that up, reinstall another Ubuntu and all your programs and restore the backup.

It can be even easier than that--put /home on its own partition, and don't touch it when installing another OS--just point to it for the /home mount. You won't even have to restore.
