The way I did it, back when I moved to Linux full time on my desktop a little over a year ago, was to import all of my outlook express email into Mozilla, and then from Mozilla into Evolution. I'm not sure, but I'd imagine that the same technique would work for regular Outlook files.
Have you tried out the latest Redhat Beta (Limbo 2)? It's visually amazing, and the fonts look great. I think that you'll be surprised when you take a look, a default setup looks so good that I didn't even feel the need to install the MS fonts.
The XFT rendering that you'll see in Gnome 2 is extremely nice. Download the beta, you'll be pleasantly surprised -- the installer will blow your mind too... Alternately, try installing Garnome (an easy way to get Gnome 2 running on your existing box).
I would look at saphirres, emeralds, and such. Those stones can be beautiful engagement rings set in a platinum ring. I have a friend who has one and many of us agree that it is way nicer than our diamonds. Plus, I have to admit that it would be nice to have something that you didn't have to compare to other peoples purely based on size or purity - asthetically the saphirres win. If you put your effort into designing the ring with a jewelry designer the thought is a big plus, too. Just make sure you understand your finances taste in jewelry or simply pick out the stone and suggest that you design it together with a jeweler (make sure to talk to a designer first and set a budget!). Diamonds are nice but a beautiful ring from a thoughtful spouse will beat a diamond any day! Best of luck!
Yes, it does take a bit longer to install, but if you use their "stage 3" tarball, you'll be able to get up and running without X in about your same 15 minutes. Getting X compiled and running with Gnome or KDE takes a while (I just let it go overnight).
You can create binary packages after you've compiled on one machine, and put them onto another....
I've had a few ebuilds not work right, but none have actually screwed up my machine, and I've always been able to get help from the email list. The community is very alive and very very helpful.
Our company paid ~$9K for a security audit by TruSecure. I was very disappointed with the work that they did -- their recommendations are basically, upgrade everything to the latest version and try to make it so that people don't know what software you're using. We were seeking their "Site Secure" certification for our server farm. They wouldn't approve me until 1.) our mailserver filtered out nasty types of email attachments (.com,.vbs, etc.) that could hurt MS clients (even though our company & servers are entirely linux), and 2.) I recompiled Apache so that it doesn't report itself as Apache (but it still says it uses mod_ssl, etc... it's totally obvious it's still apache). They had a few other recommendations that were similar. Their on-site inspector was totally wowed by my Linux desktop (it seemed like he'd never seen one before!).
When I expressed my disappointment with the service, they said that they offer much for thorough audits for more in the $50k range. We paid almost $10k and got basically nothing except the thumbs up from a few companies that we were hoping to do "B2B" connections with... (and a cool "stamp" to put on our site)...
I don't know who I'd choose next time, but I'd steer clear of these guys unless you're ready to spend some big bucks and are willing to really check out what they're going to do for you.
I'll echo that! I've just gotten my gentoo system up and running last week, and it's incredible. My main system is a PIII 966 with 512 MB of RAM and it's running RH 7.2. My installation of Gentoo onto my old Celeron (overclocked to 450 MHz) with 256 MB RAM feels faster than my main machine... The hype about it being fast is for real.:)

Well, it takes a few steps, but it can be done.
