Hello Ubuntu MATE Community,
So… I JUST installed Ubuntu 16.04 about a month ago… Dual-boot on my Windows 7 ThinkPad T410 laptop. I would like to completely REPLACE it with Ubuntu MATE 16.04! I’ve been VERY impressed with what I’ve read and seen so far about MATE!
What’s the easiest way to do this?
I have already downloaded the ISO and burned a DVD. I have also created a tar ball of my \home folder structure where I mainly have just my Python learning projects so far.
Should I use GParted to wipe the current partitions used by Ubuntu BEFORE I boot from the DVD and install Ubuntu MATE?
Any pointers or direction to help make this a “smooth” install/replacement would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John
