I know about your problem with LinuxCNC - that's why I didn't mention it 
on your GS thread. :)

But maybe one of your machines isn't busy with CNC all day and you could 
make it a dual boot setup with a current Ubuntu version running for 
"normal" desktop work.

If you finally move to a new Ubuntu version, be very careful with kmail. 
The new kmail2 version is not really finished (IMHO). The standard 
version coming with 12.04 wasn't usable for me, but the version from the 
kubuntu-backports-ppa is good enough. Therefore I would suggest to try 
the migration with a copy of your files first and do the real migration 
when you are confident that you know how to do it right.
