Having struggled monumentally with KMail over the last several months, I got |
11 |
fed up enough with setting up a new user from scratch that I now have a |
12 |
fresh user set up and ready to go. It has the few things I want to keep in |
13 |
my own account, and an empty directory structure for KMail. All I have to do |
14 |
is (re)move the old account, copy the ready account into place and go. |

That would be harder if I didn't have a ~/common partition containing |
17 |
everything I'd need if I installed another distro but without the version- |
18 |
specific KDE stuff. It's a hangover from the days when I hadn't settled on a |
19 |
single distro, but it's proved its worth this year. |
