From Debian/testing to Kubuntu?



Hi,

just while talking about Ubuntu, does anybody have experience with
converting computer from Debian/testing to [KX]ubuntu? I was told by
somebody on #kubuntu IRC channel, that it is not possible to just upgrade
(i.e., changing /etc/apt/sources.list), because of different udev packages,
but if I would just install Kubuntu over existing Debian, would it work --
i.e., would Kubuntu installer destroy all my data?

Thanks for any reply,

Mat?j

As a rule of thumb, the more qualifiers there are before the name
of a country, the more corrupt the rulers. A country called The
Socialist People's Democratic Republic of X is probably the last
place in the world you'd want to live.
