Migrating From SuSE to (K)Ubuntu

[Al Gordon]

Hi, all.

I have friend who is running one of the later SuSE distros who is
interested in switching to Ubuntu/kubuntu-desktop.  He wants to keep
his home directory intact, but is concerned that the various config
files that come with kubuntu-desktop aren't going to be 100%
compatible with what he currently has.  I think that this is a valid
concern, since I did a similar setup for someone else recently, and
the Ubuntu KDE environment looked like total crap with the SuSE KDE
settings that were in that user's home directory.  Fonts were shot,
the background images obviously didn't work, etc.

I prefer Gnome personally, and don't have a lot of experience with
KDE.  Does anyone have suggestions for me as to how they'd go about
doing a SuSE to Kubuntu migration, keeping the original (or as much of
the original as possible) home directory intact?

Thanks,
