<p class="MsoNormal"> Yes we will be meeting Sat at UAT 10-4PM<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">upgrade can be done but I suspect most will recommend clean install 18.04 we normally back up /home which contains all files and data docs ect. then install clean. Why? Linux changes too fast 14.04 to 16.04 failed 50%<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">due to massive changes that were unable to be accounted for. 16.04 to 18.04 works 90% backing up home and clean install 100% plus we can test it before hand with live media. we will every thing to test upgrade or clean install<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">so either way we should be able to get you current. Todd<o:p></o:p></p>
