I've got a Mint box that I use for file sharing and it gets by just fine. Set that up a year ago and the worst problem I had with the conversion was my old hard drive crapping out in the middle of it.

But I'm waiting for a nice long weekend to back everything up and do a proper upgrade. My computer doubles as a home theater and I know I'm going to have at least a day or two of "Why doesn't thing thing that used to work do what its supposed to anymore?" while I juggle a grumpy wife who just wants to watch movies and a sneaky toddler who just wants to steal my keyboard.
