Speaking as someone who converted from SuSE 9.3 to Kubunto 5.10, I can
say that, for me, the "upgrade" went off pretty well.  My /home is on
its own partition, so I just had the installer leave that alone when
the Kubuntu install was going.  Once I was up and running, I just went
in and created a mount point for /home in /etc/fstab, made sure the
ownership of the directories was right, and was done.
