I've seen others making my point here, so I'll add what I have to say.
Right now I'm using Kubuntu Hardy. Because it works. Properly. I don't want to
go to KDE 4.5 because of all the problems I keep reading about on here, but I
guess I will eventually have to start using something other than Hardy as
support tails off.
I can use Open Office, ufraw, qcad and I guess just about anything else on the
XFCE desktop I installed on a virtual machine. But I have years of email
stored in kmail.
So my last few days have been spent learning how to set up a mail server with
fetchmail, postfix, dovecot and IMAP and transfer messages from kmail to the
IMAP server. I did this on a temporary server, backed it up, then made sure
with a different hard drive that I can restore the server to a blank hard
drive along with all the messages from a backup, which I achieved yesterday.
The next step is to transfer the IMAP setup to my proper server and fire it
up. Then I won't need to continue to use KDE any more.
