What is keeping me from moving to my Mac Mini fulltime?

These are items I need to get worked out before I can move to my Mac Mini fulltime.
- get Mozilla Thunderbird configured and showing all mail from previous Profile (Thunderbird on Ubuntu Linux)
- find a good DVD Copy program that works without a hitch
- get my music stored off on a larger hard drive. I’m currently approaching the limit on my 40GB hard drive. I was thinking of getting a MiniStack v2 and putting the spare 120GB I have in it.
- get my iTunes setup as it is on XP with my music and podcast subscriptions.
- get my photo collection moved over from XP
- get my DiVX movie collection moved over from XP (BTW Handbrake is an awesome app that is very easy to use and can even crop out letterboxes!)
- get all of my FTP Sites setup in CyberDuck.
I believe that is it. Some of you might be wondering why I even posted this. The answer is because I needed to checklist for myself and this just happen to pop into my head when I was looking at my blog.
Update:
- Thunderbird: done
- Fast DVD Copy comes at a cost, but handles everything as needed.
- I decided to leave my music on the Linux server, but I did upgrade the drive from 40GB to 120GB.
- Cyberduck is set up with all of my sites
Why aren’t you storing all of your pictures and audio/video files on your server?
I am now. At the time I wasn’t because of laziness to reorganize my directories. All is well now and I’m completely off of my Windows installation.
