If the system is not doing anything important then it can be as simple as throwing everything away and re-installing. If there are critical databases and applications that must be moved then I'd concider bringing up a new box with the new os and migrating applications one at a time. On the other hand. Is there a good reason to migrate away from FreeBSD? Just about anything that runs on Linux will run better on freebsd.
