Setting up PPPoE under Linux and moving Win32 Mozilla files to Linux

[James Colannino]

Hey everyone, can anyone give me a simple way to set up a PPPoE 
connection under Linux?  Windows has pissed me off for the last time, 
and as of this moment I purge myself of it's existence, like it wasn't 
even there.  As soon as I get a working internet connection, Windows 
doesn't even exist.  Maybe on the boot menu for my family, but not for 
me.  It rebooted spontaneously, trying to hide a blue screen of death, 
and when it returned, Mozilla no longer recognized any of my profiles, 
no matter how many backups I tried to restore, and I have had it.  I 
know there is probably a solution, but why bother anymore?  Why bother 
with inferior software?  I hate it.

I had some very important email too.  My other question is, is it 
possible for me to take my profile data files and port them to my Linux 
machine and get it to recognize all my email?  My settings won't work 
obviously from OS to OS, but what about my mail?  I have extremely 
important mail I don't want to lost.  Please, anyone, help me out if you 
can.  I guess this experience is a good thing.  It has finally made me 
take the dive.  Finally, I'm free of Windows.  God, it feels good.
