I always keep my /home directory on its own partition, so even
changing to a different flavor of Linux doesn't mess up my local
settings. I've upgraded my current studio machine several times, and
with different distros (Fedora, Debian, Gentoo and currently using
UbuntuStudio) but have never lost any data (and I keep ALL audio
projects on a completely separate drive, and of course regular backups
are made).
