Hello all.

I have a 4.11 Stable version that has been working without problems 
in the last years. We do not need nothing else for the moment but we 
are looking to have more speed. It has been running under a double 
Pentium III processor with 512MB of ram and it has a disk of 40GB.

I was wondering of it is possible to do 2 things.

a) Only put the disk in a new machine at least a double core with 2GB 
of RAM. My guess is that could boot with a few problems on 
hardware.... what do you think?

b) If is possible to "clone" the same installation to a new faster 
disk (like a sata 250GB). I know I can install a /.x version and for 
sure will work but here the idea is to have things running as usual 
without problems. This installation is very stable and secure and has 
been with us for years.... we would like to keep it working for more 
years.... :=)

on b). Is there a simple way to do it?

Thanks in advance
