[ale] Losing Ubuntu

[Jim Kinney]

speaking of fedora version upgrades: I recently upgraded a laptop running
Fedora 11 straight to Fedora 13 using only the yum pre-upgrade process with
a wired connection to the Internet (instructions were clear: Don't do this
over wireless!). Happy to report it was a clean process and a total success
- no user data loss and all system functionality retained. Only post upgrade
was to reinstall the libdvdcss from Livna and run a post-upgrade yum update
to capture the latest packages from rpmfusion. I was quite surprised and
very happy to see this (finally) working properly.

I would rather stumble along in freedom than walk effortlessly in chains.
