There is a lot of documentation on installation but can anybody provide me 
some info on migration.

The scenario I am thinking of is the following.

1. Start from a redhat 7.2 server. There are lots of those out there so I 
should not be the only one facing this problem
2. Recompile a kernel and replace it with a kernel based on portage.
3. The uninstall redhat packages and install the associated portage ones, 
can imagine this would work along the lines:
     -Take the output of the command "rpm -aq" pipe it to a file and search 
for those packages that can be uninstalled without having dependency problems
     -For those packages do the RPM uninstall and then the emerge from 
portage.
4. Don't know enough about the lot of how to copy over system settings

This would be something like rolling out of redhat in a controlled way and 
rolling into Gentoo in a controlled way.

Anybody else having some similar thoughts,
cannot see the programming/scripting to be that much of an issue,
maybe I am wrong.

Regards
