Hi all,

I’m about to upgrade my R5 server running on Win2000 to R6. Additionnaly, I would like to change my OS to RedHat.

Any recommandations before proceeding?

Anybody made it yet? Quick steps?

Many thanks in advance.

you want to upgrade to D6 on windows first. Install Red Hat on your box and then install Domino for linux as if it’s a new install. Once that’s done, you’ll need to copy the notes.ini, names.nsf, id files, and all appropriate databases over to the linux box. You can then start up domino on linux and it should pick up your previous settings. I know this is extremely high level but it’s actually not to bad. You can ftp the databases in, or use samba or some other windows to linux file sharing system (there are a number of them out there). Linux is a great platform, best of luck.
