Hello! I would like to migrate my linux (RedHat 7.1) server to FreeBSD. I am familiar with a lot of unix concepts, but am by no means a guru. I need some information on how to make this transition as smooth as possible. I think I can handle backing up /home, /var/ftp and /var/www (where my ftp & httpd files are at) and I've done enough tweaking of apache I will have no problem transferring that configuration. The three things I'm not so sure about are: 1. my password file 2. sendmail config and the mail queue 3. my firewall & NAT rules I found this document, which seems to address #1: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=981829+984101+/usr/local/www/db/text/2002/freebsd-questions/20020908.freebsd-questions And I found this OpenBSD document that seems to help with installing BSD on a linux machine (although I'm not sure how helpful it is because I'm using software RAID on linux): ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.1/i386/INSTALL.linux Anyone have any suggestions or links to some useful information? I'd like to do this transition with a minimal amount of disruption (no lost mail, no changing of user accounts/passwords.)
