Abstract
This chapter provides information to plan and manage a Windows to Linux migration of network services. It provides a framework and roadmap for preparing successful Windows to Linux migration project and gives step-by-step instructions to help ensure a hassle-free migration. Management of migration projects is a subset of general project management. Like most software deployment projects, migration projects include assessment, requirements, design, testing, and deployment phases. While migration planning and management activities can represent a significant up-front investment in a project, they inevitably pay off later in the form of a smooth, hassle-free migration. This level of planning and management is especially important for larger projects. Migration projects are similar to a road trip. Both feature a starting point, a journey, and a destination. The first step in planning a migration is learning about the starting point. This is accomplished by performing a written assessment of the current information technology (IT) environment of the organization. An assessment gives detail to the starting point and helps determine the scope of the migration project.
