Do you know if this upgrade to 10.04 will effect any setting 0n 9.10, like the \home directory etc. Thanks

Just upgraded to 10.04. Runs pretty smooth. Seems faster too. It did not affect the Home directory.

I ran the update-manager, it said that some tux*things* aren't supported anymore. Does that mean that these tuxes - which I like very much - won't work no more?
My daughter (4y6m) really likes to play tuxMath, which I find rather useful (she learns both - to type, and to math). So, will these nice tuxes be removed or not?

What about the compiz stuff? Will that be removed, replaced, or what? Would I need to set it up againg, or will the settings be saved? What about the theme, the desktop settings, the colors and the layout - will that be reset?

Hail 10.04 and might the Maverick 0.10 prevail.
