I'm about to perform this sometime this weekend ie. I'm intending on moving my mailman lists (and archives) from a Red Hat Linux 8.0 server to a Fedora Core 1 server. Red Hat 8.0 runs mailman-2.0.13-3 and Fedora Core 1 runs mailman-2.1.2-2 The FC1 machine is currently a fresh install. Is there any advice someone could give me in regards to the steps involved in performing this? Thanks.
