Hi Marie-Noëlle<br>
<br>
Best luck for the switch over,but before that,I humbly request you
to test PCLinuxoS2010-KDE in virtual box or with a live CD.It is a
rolling distro giving latest applications. You need not install
every after 6 months,though necessary after @ 3 years approximately.<br>
We (PCLinuxoS users) got Digikam 1.5 on the date of it's release,see
at<br>

No distro is 100% perfect/stable but I prefer PCLinuxoS over
bleeding edge Fedora.Moreover I need not install every after 6
months and can use my time & energy in getting acquainted with
applications, mastering them to the extent possible and getting
some output! <br>
Regarding <i>"as I will have two different computers with the same
distribution, can I move my images and database to an external
drive so I can use it with either computer?"........</i>pl. go
through the tips at<br>

There ' Andreas Tono' mentions that "<span class="ul-threaded"

Think about the timestamps for each file in the filesystem. <br>
If digikam keeeps that also in the database you may get a
problem." </i><br>
'Lucky Backup' has nice GUI,is fast & is based upon
'rsync'.....this may help you.<br>

(Digikam 1.5 is already available with this distro).<br>
This will be the first time I'll desinstall a system to put
another one in its place. Is there anything I should know before
doing that, or will Digikam work "straight out of the box" with
the new distribution and my current images?<br>
<br>
Additionally, as I will have two different computers with the same
distribution, can I move my images and database to an external
drive so I can use it with either computer?<br>
<br>
Thanks for answers,<br>
