Use a distro like Debian where you don't have three days of compiling :)
I would think a second computer would be the way to go. Then switch drives and as long as the NICs are similar I would imagine it should just work.

Hi gang.
I'm will be rebuilding my server soon, and am looking for ideas on how to minimize my down time.
It's a Gentoo server (if that helps). I considered maybe just putting a different hard drive in the box as a slave, then partitioning it and chrooting to that drive and run my installs there, then when ready, make the new drive the primary. Is this feasible? Is there a better way? Is there a way I can do this without requiring a second drive? If need be, I am willing to just wipe my current drive and start with a new install, but this will result in approx 2 or 3 days of being down.
Thanks for any tips or suggestions.
Shawn
