Todd, Thanks for the information about the InstallFest. I forgot to mention that the system is set up with 2 mirrored 1 TB SSDs. I am not excited about a clean install because I will then have to install and configure all my applications again, and I know not all the important stuff is in /home. Perhaps I should just be content with 14.04.
