Sorry for my nobbisum but I am very new to Linux as only installed to PS3 before, un-installed pretty quickly. After installing 2.6 on my desktop,which I found by a top Linux distro search, I love the look and feel of Ultimate Edition 2.6 but wonder if I should have gone straight to 2.9. I have downloaded 2.9 64X but when I load dvd disk I get funny streaking on screen. But to the point can I upgrade from 2.6 or is fresh install the only way? when I do a search with update manger I get a 10.10 version but is that ultimate Edition 2.9 or just a updated kernel ? I do have a memory card reader with sd card in and the boot thing set up on it but my mother board gives me funny options of USB ZIP, USB FDD and a couple of others, none boot. The only dvd I have is a rewritable one which I used to install 2.6 but now seems to play up. I've had a couple of beers I think that it might just be worth keeping 2.6 till I get used to it but then dont want to lose set up or data if I want to upgrade to 2.9.
Long live Linux
