My way, when converting from Mandrake:
Tar up /home & /etc directories.
FTP them to another computer.
Install Debian fresh.
Retrieve the tarballs, and restore them to temporary directories
under /var.
Copy the relevant files back to /home.
Since things in /etc are so (relatively) different, use the files
in your /var etc/ directory as a guide to customizing things (like
firewall rules, presuming the firewall script is in /etc!) after
install.
