    Hey Scott,

    Glad that your migration went ok from Windows to Linux, how long did that take you? Did you come across any gotchas or things that could have gone wrong which you were on top of?


    Best wishes,
    Christian.

    It took me about 12 hours. Once I copied over the Windows version and installed it, I had to then install the Linux version over it. That screwed
    up the configuration so I had to redo the config file.(./mystic -cfg)

    What took so long is changing the file structure listings, Changing c:/mystic to /home/ogg/mystic for every file path. You don't realize how many and in what *.ini files their hidden away! I'm still tracking down a few, but at least it's up and running.

    I'm glad I'm now free from MS$ and can spend time getting the doors up and running.
