There is a reason for it. The idea is that the people that has to do the migration have not enough knowledge, and i would migrate first the servers that don't rely on a extern authentication. 1- database has normal it own authentication. And should be quite easy to setup. 2- webserver the same, and it would have no authentication, and a webserver could rely on a dabaseserver. 3-7 The authentication service - LDAP Groupware, file, print, proxy servers will need some kind of authentication for file access ore other. 8- this could perhaps be installed before the logon service, but now the knowledge is larger. 9 this is the last server and as above for the knowledge. 10-11 no change. > > FWLIW, this is how I would order them off the top of my head... > > 1) Print server > 2) File server > 3) DNS - DHCP > 4) Proxy > 5) Firewall > 6) Web server > 7) Database > 8) Domain logon > 9) Groupware > 10) Office > 11) Desktop > > The idea being that you migrate the things that would have the > smallest impact to the daily operations of the office/business (1, 2, > 3, 4).

Is this the specific order in which the migration is planed? Or is this just a list in no particular order? If it is the former could you give a short comment on how you came to determine this order? It looks like you did a good job of pinning down the pieces. I would likely go with a different order, though, and would be very interested in the reason(s) you ordered things this way. FWLIW, this is how I would order them off the top of my head... 1) Print server 2) File server 3) DNS - DHCP 4) Proxy 5) Firewall 6) Web server 7) Database 8) Domain logon 9) Groupware 10) Office 11) Desktop The idea being that you migrate the things that would have the smallest impact to the daily operations of the office/business (1, 2, 3, 4). Then the things that would entail some impact on productivity but not a tremendous amount (5, 6, 7). Next the things that are one step removed from direct user impact (8 & 9) and lastly the actual users systems (10 & 11). Also, this order lends itself to a better progression of building on the previous one. The actual order would be determined by the specific situation, of course. Different organizations and businesses would have slightly different needs.

Hi, My paper about migration a Windows company to Linux is almost done (in dutch). I have read a lot of other papers including IDA guidelines, and going to follow the "gentle" way of migration. This means replacing servers one by one, giving them the same name, ip and so on. This is for the clients so they have no idee of the migration and have no changes on them. The servers are going to change in this way: 1 Database 2 Webserver 3 Domainlogon (here need the windows clients extra software for Ldap) 4 Proxy 5 Groupware 6 Fileserver 7 Printserver 8 DNS - DHCP 9 Firewall 10 Office 11 Desktop If people on this list has remarks or find errors please let me know.

If it's ASP (VBScript), you may need an ASP environment for Linux. There is one at http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/asp/ (formerly Chilli!soft) http://wwws.sun.com/software/chilisoft/ There is also a converter for VBScript ASP pages into PHP: http://asp2php.naken.cc/ Same for server G. > Server H > > NT4 Database SQL > > Oracle (large) mysql > (small) If you really insist on using a commercial (expensive) database, use IBM's DB2 Universal Database. It is more modern, better scalable, faster, more reliable, has better support and is cheaper! I have worked with both databases, and I won't touch Oracle any more! For a small database, you may want to look at Firebird, because unlike MySQL this free database has all the neat features of a *real* database (stored procedures, triggers, real transactions, subselects...).

It's not cheap, but much more reliable - and IMHO the best groupware available.

I cannot view it on my Linux box (I don't go through the hassle of installing that). So I had to boot the old Windows box... Neither Netscape 4.8.0 nor Mozilla 1.3.0 (Windows 2000), both with Shockwave Flash 5.0 r41 plugin, display *anything* but a white space. And you can imagine what I see in my favoured browser elinks (a text-only browser)... So I cannot comment on the contents because I am unable to access it. > If you people think that i may ask you this, i shall every time a > chapter is done and put on the website, i will send a mail to this > group to notify you all. > On the otherhand if you say please don't post this here, please tell > me and i will not send any mail to this group again. I don't know about the others, but I think sending a mail to the list every month (or maybe every two weeks) should be fine, especially if you include a short abstract about the changes. Also it would be nice to have direct links to the new stuff in the mail (as I said I'm short on time, and such links would make review easier for me). Again best wishes for your paper!
