I just did a 'dist upgrade' from Kubuntu Edgy to Feisty using the new upgrade tool that people have been asked to test. It took about an hour and a half but aside from that everything went ok. I have to use the openchrome drivers for my video so had to do 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' in recovery mode on my first boot into Feisty in order to select the Vesa driver because ' /etc/X11/xorg.conf' had been written anew and had reverted to naming the Vesa generic driver. I expected that would hapen though. Once I had managed to log in graphically I reinstalled the Openchrome driver, amended xserver-xorg and /etcX11/xorg.conf, restarted X and got back into Kubuntu. Nothing seems to have been lost by way of my settings. All of the app windows are opening where I had set them to in Edgy, my custom icons are still loaded, windows are the same as in Edgy. It looks like all went ok. I can't see any missing files in my /home partition. I am impressed really. This is the first dist-upgrade I have done. I only started using Kubuntu about 6 months ago so I am a newb to Linux. Good stuff. I am a happy customer.
