CentOS to Deian migration

Post by xi_whipping_boy »

I’ve been a Linux enthusiast for 10 years. Debian has been my distro of choice for the last 6 years so I was happy when XI was ported to debian and ubuntu. I haven’t made the switch yet. I’ve been running XI on CentOS for 4 years but I’m thinking about installing it on Debian and migrating all my stuff. Is there a doc on what files I need to move to my new installation? Is it pretty straightforward? Anybody out there made the switch? Any issues?

Hi xi_whipping_boy,

The migration *should* be similar, but try it out in a test environment first just to be safe.

Check out the following PDF, and go to page 13 where it says Changed Operating System Version / Architecture / Family.

Let us know if you need anything else. :)

Thanks,
