[lug] AWS Installfest-in-the-Cloud -- Woobi undo

[Dru Whitledge]

Damn, I should have been paying better attention and I'd possibly 
know if this "InstallFest" is limited only to Clouds (which I'm not a 
fan of -- as they beat me up all that time in a previous life while 
flying airplanes through them). If it ain't all "nubes" then I've 
actually got bookoo questions on installation(s) and potential installations.
I won't, unfortunately, be available Saturday as I'll likely be 
sliding across a frozen lake on my butt with ice-skates up in the 
air. I guess I should put each potential question (quandary) into 
separate emails and hope for some help on the list.

1) I have two woobi installs (on Win2000 / XP Pro native systems) on 
a couple of machines (laptop and desktop) that I would like to 
"upgrade" (I think). The woobi installs are 9.10 Gnome / Kubuntu that 
I would like to swap-out for  the long term 10.4 woobi installs and 
wonder if 1) that is wise 2) it is practical? I'm still on a steep 
Linux learning curve and not getting very far, very fast -- as I'm 
not an IT pro (once was) and now only a computer consumer using my 
computers for personal use and don't have much real justifiable use 
for Linux that isn't already met by Windows (hate it as I do). Still, 
I do want to preserve and learn Linux bit by bit in case I find some 
way / justifiable method to migrate to Linux (still my intent). More 
on why that hasn't happen and how that might happen in another email 
-- but for now -- can anyone offer opinions on undoing and re-doing 
woobi installs to a new(er) distro?
