Hi,
I am very new to linux and houdini as well. I want to install the new houdini 9 beta on linux but first I believe that I should uninstall the previous version. How exactly do I do that properly? Sorry for my ignorance.
joes.
How do I uninstall houdini8.2.13 apprentice in ubuntu linux?

Unlike Windows, Linux Houdini is extremely self-contained. As long as you select the default installation directory and don't bother re-installing the license server every time, it will only write to that location(/opt/hfs.x.x.x). One of the wonderful advantages of not having a registry.

the only issue you might face is that the H8 license server will not serve licenses to H9, but it works the other way so you always need the latest versions license server (sesinetd). under suse 10.2 i found H9 did not replace the license server automatically, not sure why, it has been fine in the past with previous versions.
if it works then dont worry but if you cant install a license run hkey before houdini and check the license server details.
