You sound just like me! I just got my new(to me) iMac 20" that came with 10.6.8. Since Linux is my main OS on all my computers(Scientific Linux 6.6), I upgraded to OSX 10.10.2. I had over 4 thousand plus iPhotos from my old G4 and over 600 iTunes. Everything transferred over well, and I am enjoying the iMac.
