[Dxspider-support] emergency rebuild for va3mw-7

[Dirk Koopman]

In fact the RECOMMENDED way to do this is to copy the whole tree to the 
new machine.

The chances are it will "just work" and, at worst, it will require a 
rebuild of the user and dxqsl databases.

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).
