I’m running Mint 9 Isadora and haven’t even attempted to ‘upgrade’.. and this is why...

“Linux Mint, by contrast, doesn’t offer the fancy option of a distribution upgrade. Instead, they suggest you use mintBackup, then do a clean installation of the new release. As one might expect, most people tend to lean toward the Ubuntu method since it takes less work. Some might even argue that it’s easier, too.”

There is no way I’m going to spend hours backing up my system and then do a ‘clean install’ and try to re-install everything again.

I’ve run Ubuntu and Mint and to me, Mint is an easier to use system.

I should have added...

But I don’t like Mints ‘upgrade’ path.

It’s ridiculous to have to jump through all the hoops just to upgrade to Mint 12.

So far, Isadora is working fine. If it becomes a problem later, I’ll just boot into Windows XP..

My son installed Ubuntu on his computer one day while I was out of town. It's been on that machine ever since.

Every time I have to get on it to trouble shoot something, I have to re-learn it. I hate the way it works.

Fedora, to me, is much more straightforward and easier to learn and manage.
