I use the same home directory. In general, after installing a new release, I log in on a test box in the new version, reboot it into the old version, log in and see that nothing breaks. If something does, I file a bug report, take a snapshot of the relevant config files in the home directory for emergencies, and life goes on :-) -- Alexandre Oliva Enjoy Guarana', see http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat GCC Developer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} CS PhD student at IC-Unicamp oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist Professional serial bug killer
