I have a newbie Mint upgrade question.  I currently have Mint 12

installed on a test system.  I know that Mint 13 should be coming out

in April/May.  I remember reading that you can not upgrade Mint from

one version to another, to do an upgrade requires a complete

reformat/reinstall, which means losing all of your data and installed

programs that you added to the system.

I am wondering if this information is out of date.  I could see this

being a problem 2-3 years ago when I first looked at Mint 6/7.  Since

then, Mint has moved from being a Ubuntu child to being a Ubuntu

sibling (Mint is now based on Debian, not Ubuntu).  

Is upgrading from one release of Mint to a new release still a

problem?

Thanks

Wayne
