OSX is the only OS (besides DOS) I've had that had painless upgrades.
Windows upgrades never ever work in place (at least not for me). You
have to wipe the disk, install from scratch, then reinstall all your
apps and reconfigure them.
You're hosed if you lose an install disk or the serial # for it.
Ubuntu isn't much better, but at least you don't have to worry about
install disks and serial numbers. I just keep a list of sudo apt-get
commands! That works pretty good until the Ubuntu gods just decide to
drop kick your apps (like sunbird) out of the repository.
Don't blame Ubuntu, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Sunbird
"It was developed as a standalone version of the Lightning calendar and
scheduling extension for Mozilla Thunderbird. Development of Sunbird was
ended with release 1.0 beta 1 to focus on development of Mozilla
Lightning.[6][7]"
Ubuntu doesn't drop support for widely used software. I'd use Google's
Calendar instead.
Ubuntu doesn't include Lightning, either.
Walter: You could add the lightning plugin to your thunderbird from the
mozilla page: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/lightning/index.html
Hopefully it automatically imports your sunbird data or is at least able
to import it manually.
