The existing Ubuntu configuration has been imaged.

     I have started the upgrade process to upgrade from 16.04.1 LTS to 16.10.  I really don’t like non LTS releases BUT there are so many systemd script related bugs in 16.04.1 that they do not appear interested in fixing that release that I feel if 16.10 can work it’s worth a try.  If anything goes terribly wrong I have the image of the existing 16.04.1 LTS so we can always revert if necessary.
