I have set aside two partitions for Ubuntu. I have 8.04 on one partition which I normally use. But I wanted to check out 8.10 so it is installed on the other partition. I know I could just check out with the live cd but that is so slow I can't get a good grip on what the newer version is like. I do the same thing when I want to check out different distributions. Works for me. I sort of have my cake and eat it too. I have set aside two partitions for Ubuntu. I have 8.04 on one partition which I normally use.

Why? Because I had this experience when I upgraded and then after upgrading I found out that my video card wasn't supported anymore ^_^. Unbelievable? Well, it happened. My legacy drivers weren't accommodated in ibex for quite some time when it has been in heron. Anyway, thanks to Alberto Milone, I was able to use the prop nvidia legacy drivers again. Don't know exactly how, but I just followed instructions and it worked. So before upgrading now I check which would be broken.
