Will my all files be the same after updating from 10.04 to 12.04?

Question

Programs like skype, browsers etc. etc. and my all files. Will it be the same after upgrading to 12.04 from 10.04 or I will have to reinstall everything? Thank you.

EDIT: Also, as I understood. only Unity is available in 12.04? Can I make it look like 10.04?

If you're doing an upgrade - your personal files, settings and applications you installed will be preserved, you won't have to reinstall them.

If you're doing a clean install then you will need to re-install applications.

In both cases it is advisable to make a full backup of your personal data.

Regarding Unity - Ubuntu 12.04 will include so-called "fallback mode" which is somewhat similar to Gnome 2, though it's not identical.

I'd wait for the final release. It is scheduled for release in only 16 days. – jippie Apr 10 '12 at 06:40
