We are about to make the move and I have been testing the system along side
of our production system. I think this was a wise move. I have the two
networked together so it is easier to move accounts. We are moving from
Solaris 8 to RH AS 3, UV 9.6.2.3 to UV 10.1.12. Further comments are in the
text.

- Are there issues when converting Universe data files from
Unix/Solaris OS to Linux?
I've found that you can either copy the files over and use fnuxi or use
uvbackup to create an image, copy that over then use uvrestore to restore
the file on the linux box. Both take about the same amount of time. In
either case the account will update when you first login to it. If you had
LONGNAMES ON you will have to do that after the update. Make sure you check
the &TEMP& file for any of your changed VOC entries.
- Is there difficulty getting printers to function properly on Linux?
We had to set up our laser printers on the Linux box to use raw data instead
of the drivers because of pcl coding we have on many of our printouts.
- Are changes required to any scripts and/or cron daemons running
scripts on Linux?
You may have to use the -f (force) flag on cp, rm, and mv if you have the
commands in any programs, procs, or paragraphs otherwise it will ask if you
want to write over existing files.
- Has Linux proven to be more or less stable than Unix?
Can't say that I know the answer to the rest because we haven't run full
production yet.
