In a similar vein to the link I posted previously, here is another document published by the German Federal Ministry of the Interior, "Migration Guide, A guide to migrating the basic software components on server and workstation computers."
The English version is at http://www.kbst.bund.de/Anlage303807/pdf_datei.pdf, while the original German version is at http://www.kbst.bund.de/download/mlf_v1_de.pdf It's kind of big (3MB+), but interesting. Mark Post
