Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu "Earlier this month I covered Ubuntu's Migration Assistant, which is one of the features that will be found in Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn. The migration-assistant is designed to make it very easy for Microsoft Windows converts to jump into the Ubuntu world by automatically transferring files and settings. However, when I originally tried out Ubuntu migration-assistant I had run into a few bugs that ultimately rendered the assistant useless. However, in that post Evan had commented that the two major bugs being recently corrected, so this morning I gave this installation assistant another shot."

This is the kind of stuff that really needs to be worked on in the Linux world, and congrats to Ubuntu for working on getting the job done. I'm assuming this will be open source, so hopefully other distros will begin using this.

It's GPLv2 and it is my hope that other distros pick it up. The Ubuntu-specific bits are separate from the core code and the core only depends on libxml2 and libc.
