While that is an option, I prefer not to lose my /home directory.
/home should be always kept on a separate partition to avoid such problems. It is known that distro's upgrade is unreliable. It is better to backup your /home somewhere, perform a clean install using a smart partitioning scheme, and restore all the data from the backup. For my system, I usually use a /home/data partition to store data and softlink it under my home as documents folder, to avoid any possible conflict or incosistency between conf files under user's home. -- Andrea Negro andrea@alessandria.linux.it ICQ 25458773
