You can, but it isn't recommended.

Ditto. I have feisty on my main desktop, but I am somewhat more careful about how I manage it - picking and choosing what I upgrade. I am not suggesting others do this, it's just what I do. I also have numerous Virtual machines running all the previous versions which I user for screencasting [1], but also for testing stuff. For example when people ask questions in the support tracker [2] I sometimes spark up a VM running an older release to make sure what I am telling someone is correct. Cheers, Al.
