Linux absolutely rocks. I was running LFS with gnome 2.2 on an external drive. Installed FC2T1 - copied my home directory over - and logged in. Some things were lost (my gnome panel settings etc.) - but most of it was just straight forward - Evolution migrated my mail, Epiphany bookmarks just worked, all my sticky notes were intact, Rhythmbox had my playlists, xterm was still set as my default terminal, my preferred gnome theme was intact, etc. Gnome (and I suspect KDE) is really tolerant of completely changing everything and still keeping your settings.
