 There are two important parts in [[eMule]]: the configuration files and temp/shared files. Let's start with configuration files.
-In [[eMule]], these files are stored under ''config'' directory. In [[aMule]], instead, the configuration files are stored under ''~/.aMule'' directory (Linux) or in the ''~/Library/Application Support/aMule'' directory (Mac). So the easy step is to copy the files from the [[eMule]]'s configuration directory to [[aMule]]'s. Good, so let's look further...

 The [http://www.kernel.org Linux] community started developing a [http://www.kernel.org Linux] client able to connect to [[eMule]]'s network: [[lMule]] was born. A multi p2p network program, [[mlDonkey]] added support to [[eMule]]'s network; later [[lMule]] was renamed to [[xMule]]. But the winner is yet to come.
-[[xMule]] got a few coders but a project started ramping up: try to port the changes from [[eMule]] to a [http://www.kernel.org Linux] client: [[aMule]] was born. This fastly became the de facto standard "donkey" client for [http://www.kernel.org Linux].

 [[eDonkey2000]] is now almost dead, and even charges for a professional version of its client.
