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 Jorge Biquez
