RE: [TCLUG:2882] RedHat -> Debian

[Ben Kochie <ben@nerp.net>]

home directorys are about all that you want to try and keep.. i keep my /home
on a different partition so it's easy to just re-install, and setup a whole
system.. and never loose my stuff.. make sure you backup your /etc, and /var so
you have all your config files.
