Old box was FC4 with an install from the source code. New box will be running FC5 and was planning on installing from RPM to cut down on the configuration time, but I do like the control provided by installing from source.
The old box is still up, and gets backed up nightly, so I can just copy the historical data to the new box once the install is done.

if the new hardware would take over the IP and name of the crashing one, I don't think there's much to change. If you do the cut-over quick enough, you won't have a purple either :) as for the data, 'rpm -ql hobbit' should give you a full list of files & diretories to backup & restore, if Linux. what OS you are running on?

Pardon me if this question has been asked before.
I am installing a new server since the previous server we had has been crashing do to hardware issues. Is there a best practices for migrating the Hobbit data from the old box to the new?
Thanks in advance.
