Migration

[Trent Shipley]

I am currently using OpenSuSE 10.2 on a machine that I built in 2000.  The 
machine has broken a couple of times, so there have been upgrades.  
Nevertheless, it labors running 10.2.  I haven't been disappointed with SuSE, 
but it's not the same under Novel.

I'd like to migrate to a cheap new box (or laptop) and switch to a new distro, 
probably Ubuntu.  I am also a KDE user and I'm seriously thinking about 
switching to Gnome.  (How much market share does KDE have?)  The main problem 
I forsee is that all my e-mail is in Kmail, and I'm not sure what would be 
involved in migrating to another mail client.  I've heard nice things about 
Pegasus Mail.
