Transferring Hard Drive to Another Machine
Have a machine running Fedora Core 4 that has been used as a mail/web server. Now want to transfer drive to a newer machine. Can this be done without having to re-install fc4 and what becomes of current network settings
Very new using linux but must get this done soon |

Do a fresh install, on new, current hardware. Mail/web services are fairly easy to configure these days, especially if you've got a working configuration now. The mail/apache config files can be moved over from the working box, to the new one, and tested/adjusted as needed, with no loss of service. If you're not comfortable doing this, and this is for a business, it's worth hiring a consultant to do it. The move/build should take no more than a day or two, and you can get documentation out of them at the same time, telling you basics on how to manage your box. If you're not stuck with Fedora, I'd also strongly suggest using CentOS. It's a 'server-class' distro. Fedora is updated very frequently, so if you don't want to continually be upgrading your box, use something that's built to stay fairly static for a good while. |
