<div class="moz-cite-prefix">In fact the RECOMMENDED way to do this
is to copy the whole tree to the new machine.<br>
<br>
The chances are it will "just work" and, at worst, it will require
a rebuild of the user and dxqsl databases.<br>
<br>
On "best distros", I would recommend a Debian based distro (e.g.
Debian or Ubuntu) as they are kept more up to date than Centos
ones. As a historical note, I used to be RPM based from the very
early days of Redhat until approximately the start of Centos 5.
But I am now firmly convinced that the "Debian way" is better and
I use Ubuntu (usually in the form of Xubuntu, but am now flirting
with using Cinnamon as the UI).<br>

<div>One quick question, can I copy the spider directory from
the old file system into a new install, or do I have to start
from scratch with the DX Cluster install?</div>
