Re: [linuxiran] Redhat 9 to Debian Sarge Migration

[Kaveh Mousavi]

What type of devices do you mean?
I migrated both our servers, Redhat 9, two weeks ago,
completely remotely. Those are our web and email 
servers.

It was so  easy and I am enjoying  it's powerfull
package management and its very wise changed /etc/
srturcture for some servers like apache and Exim.

It was a wise move for us because we needed debian
stability and support and ease of upgrade.

Best  wishes,
KMZ
