[wlug] Upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10...

Now that I have a copy of Windows 7 Professional x64, I can go ahead and install that and Ubuntu 9.10 x64 on my laptop. However, I'm a bit unsure of how well my existing profile will be imported (if at all). As I have the 32-bit version installed, I have to do a clean install. In the past my user account has had its ownership changed to '1001', and I had to create a new account and copy the old stuff over. In this case, would it just be easier to create a new user account and copy my data over to it? The query's apropos Ubuntu, though the same could apply in Windows; that has its own foibles with using the same username (tacking on .WINDOWS was XP's method of doing things; I've no idea if Windows 7 does that).
