I was just about to answer Andrew's original email, but this one caught
my eye ... <evil grin>

Actually, I've seen more than one RedHat-to-Debian-howto out there
somewhere. Unfortunately, I have lost the links to them. I do, however,
have the text from the web pages (because I saved them). It's about 30k
total so I won't email it to the list, but I'll send it to you directly
if you're interested (and anyone else if they deem themselves
masochistic enough to try it... :)
