A neat trick for preserving your settings is to have the /home folder on a
separate partition. So even if the upgrade doesn't go well, you can do a
fresh install on the root partition without disturbing the /home partition
and most of the settings will be the same as before. When I did a fresh
install for edgy over dapper, it looked exactly same as dapper as I had a
separate partition for /home.
