Version Migration

Hello all,

Background
So I've been running on gnucash 2.4.11 for some years.
it's been great, the only problems were my lack of
knowledge of finance. I want to migrate to version 2.6.15
(using gentoo linux).


My only accounting problem is my depreciation does not match
what the accountant has been doing. They are the authority,
so It's entries on depreciation that need to be fixed.

Note, I have never 'closed the books' since the beginning because
I knew I need to fix the depreciation schedules on about (6) items.
It's a small company. I've been sick off and on for (3) years
running, so not much actively the last few years. I'm finally
better and ready to resume active business.

************************************************


So, should I fix the depreciation on the new version of gnucash
(my preferred method) or on the old slow lappy and version 2.4.11?


I'm in the process of installing a laptop to exclusively run gnucash,
mostly offline (no physical internet) on gentoo linux (fav distro).


Any documents I need to review before doing the migration to the new
laptop? I have both scp and usb sticks for the migration.

I think I want to use a database now, pgsql.

hit me up with ideas, and whatever make me plan out this migration
before starting...

James
