[ILUG] Mixing linux distributions

[essam mansour]

Unfortunately, I do not have a separate partition for my home.

I am going to make a clean instillation.
This time, I will make a separate partition for my home.

Is it easy to make a separate partition for my home using Ubuntu?

I have been told that if I make a copy of my Home and use it again after the
new installation.
That will cover most of my staff!

Do you think that will work? Is that correct?

Best Regards,

Essam
