Actually, with this list I'm betting that it won't take that long.  
Spamassassin and postfix, for example, can be configured with one of the list 
member's pages (our very own Derek Jennings at Delboys Web Corner):

http://www.jennings.homelinux.net/mailserver_config.html

(Good site for a lot of mandriva stuff)

and with a bit of extra reading if you decide not to use postfix:

Take my word for it, do not waste your time trying to go 8.2>9.0>9.1>9.2, etc.
It isn't going to work, with the exception of 9.1>9.2, which can actually be 
done smoothly.  There are too many differences between libraries (gcc in 
particular is a pain) and from 9.2 to 10, kernels. 

 And besides--you know that your current hardware works with Linux--that's 
half the battle won already.  Enjoy the journey.

Also, Turn off your "Reply To" if you post to a list.  Bad form, that, but at 
least I get to be LIST NAZI for a day--sorry Joe.
