Upgrading from LL2.8 to LL3 - can I keep the same '/home' partition?

[m654321]

I upgraded from 2.8 to 3.0 last night.  I have a separate /home partition and had no problem carrying out the upgrade and preserving all my files.  I did encounter a problem with Grub but once that was sorted I had no other problems.  I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to upgrade with the separate /home partition, I had visions of it not being as straightforward as it appeared to be and expected that I was going to have to restore files from my backup.

Thanks bigmanstrat - that's really useful to know.  I'm not quite ready to do the upgrade from LL2.8 to 3.0 on my first laptop listed below. In fact, I might wait until LL2.8 'expires' (2019), before upgrading  as it fits all my needs and it is now running extremely smoothly. Sometimes, you reach a point where you think what's to be gained by upgrading. However, that said, I have put LL3.0 on my Samsung N145 netbook & it runs a treat!
