I want to switch to a Linux server . In another computer , I have installed Linux , and I have tested it that is working very well by copying some files into it from a client computer . >From a client : Currently it is connected to FreeBSD server . By defining a second NFS server in Linux in its "fstab" file , I am obtaining access to both servers from the same computer at the same time . I am copying all of the contents of the FreeBSD server into Linux server . In the servers : I am disconnecting FreeBSD server from the network . I am changing IP of the Linux server to the FreeBSD server IP number . The same can be applied to second server as a FreeBSD server . After installation , HDD of the second server may be moved to first server by modifying its IP number to make it the same of the first server to allow clients to connect without any change . For this you need a spare computer which may not be server quality one . Thank you very much . Mehmet Erol Sanliturk
