Be sure to back up your home directory. The movie posters are actually stored in ~/.mythtv/MythVideo. If you check, there's a bunch of stuff stored in there, so I'd recommend keeping your whole home directory. If you use MythGame, all your zsnes settings and stuff will be in your home directory as well.
<br><br>As for LVM, I've had the same two 250 gig drives in an LVM setup through about four full reinstalls of ubuntu (not 'apt-get dist-upgrade' but actual reinstalls). I don't see why LVM in Fedora would be so drastically different that it wouldn't work in Ubuntu.

I've been able to read a drive partitioned as LVM in Fedora on Ubuntu.<br>I believe you'll have to install lvm after installing Ubuntu. It would<br>be a good idea to make a note of your /etc/fstab settings for the LVM

</a>. I<br>wasted so much time looking up rpm package names for Fedora in google.
<br>If you want LVM support in Ubuntu, just do a search on that page for<br>lvm. You'll find lvm2 and lvm-common will provide what you need. You<br>can also do these searches in Synaptic, but the website is faster.<br>

Sweet. ok i think I am convinced. So I think my last question is, how
do I keep all my movies images and details after the reinstall? Every
time I do a reinstall I have to manually redo my video manager
information. And since I have a lot of movies this is bigger then the
reinstall.<br>
