Hi, I did it last week and the whole process was not so painful. This were the major problems: - different unresolved rpm dependeces: you can fix this with apt after the installation - sendmail to postfix: you will have to port all the settings to postfix (or install sendmail) - apache: new major version you will have to hack your httpd.conf files quite a lot depending on your configuration - ... In principle I had no major problems but I obviously had to change a lot of configuration files (samba, cups, ...)
