<div>Okay - the time is approaching where we're going to switch from SCO OpenServer to CentOS.</div>
<div>I have a few questions.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. Is there a migration tool that will take all my existing users and 'import' them as users on CentOS?</div>
<div>2. Does anyone have suggestions on specific hardware to use? We are a Dell shop if that matters.....</div>
<div> i.e. How much RAM are people using on CentOS? (we have approx 60-75 users on during peak hours during the day, lots of processes running, etc and we have</div>
<div> several larger files that we run re-indexing on over weekends - currently, this takes about 18 hrs on our current system)</div>
<div>3. Is setting up printers/drivers pretty simple on CentOS?</div>
<div>4. What RAID configuration is best for speed and failover, etc? We are a busy place and can't afford downtime.</div>
<div>5. Can you run a backup to a USB drive using CentOS? If not, what backup solution is best?</div>
<div>6. Does CentOS support dual processors?</div>
<div>7. Is there a specific version of CentOS that seems to be more stable, etc than others?</div>
<div>8. Other than exchanging our current licensing with filePro, is there anything else that needs to be done to the filePro files so they run on CentOS?</div>
<div>9. For my many scripts that I have running, is there a big directory hierarchy difference on CentOS vs. SCO? </div>
<div> i.e. are user profiles still in /usr directory? Does the PATH variable need to change on my scripts? i.e. /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, /etc, etc</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm sure I'll have more questions, but this is a good start.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for any suggestions and/or input.</div>
