server from Ubuntu to Debian: checklist! Hey all.  I have a
small set of users and apps that are currently running on an
Ubuntu server, and the whole system has been backed up.  I want
to swith the whole box over to Debian, but still maintain user
home directories, logins, and such.  I've already done: dpkg
--get-selections, but I'm wondering, what else do I need to do
to completely switch the box from Ubuntu to Debian?  It will
move from Januty, to Lenny.  Any input, and/or advice, greatly
appreciated!  in_texas_dallas 02-05-2010 04:57 PM
bluesword1969> Hopefully somebody else can be more helpful, but
I do believe you will and should do a fresh install and then
migrate over compatible settings. Understand that even though
Ubuntu and Debian are similar operating systems, they are going
to have varying versions of just about everything, therefore
even application specific settings / config
