Just had a conversation with someone about the problems she has almost everytime she does her operating system version upgrades. So it's inspired me to want to explain how I do mine.
I run my system with the /home folder running on a seperate partition, this is a little tricky to do but with a little Google research it's perfectly do-able. Then I have a few small partitions - 10gb is enough but i prefer a little more - and these little partitions are where i host everything else, i.e. the operation system and installed programs.
By running this way I have more than one version of ubuntu to boot into with them all using the same /home folder. This is most useful at upgrade time, when upgrading I isntall a fresh install into an empty partition, this way I can still opt to boot into the old OS if I can't yet get all things working on the latest OS upgrade.
