Hi,

Just wanted to know if there are any problem in installing FreeBSD in 
one computer and then take the disk and put it in a other computer? I 
want the setup the new system first, before taking the old down, but its 
the same computer thats suppose to run the new system. I have a spare 
computer i will install on first, and then just change the disk.

Conveting from OpenBSD -> FreeBSD

Except for system dependent kernel options, are there any thing that I 
should be aware of?

And one other question, how does people backup a Maildir structure, 
tar/gz and just move the fil away from the system? afterwards its just 
hard to find the deleted mail cause the names in Maildir  are odd. I 
havent found any good answers to this on google

best regards
Syska
