I have seen what happens when you try upgrading one version to another
of Ubuntu.  It has issues more often than not it seems.

My wife was using Ubuntu at UofT for her machine there because that's what
it came with.  It has had a lot of issues with upgrades over the years.

One upgrade made X go away.  She was unimpressed.  I seem to recall she
reinstalled from scratch to fix that.  Another time an upgrade changed
the network port arrangement, taking the machine of the network.
