Migrating zope from Windows to Linux

[Joel Fitzgerald]

Hi all, we currently have a document management system running on a zope platform on a Windows 2003 server. We would like to investigate migrating this to a Linux OS.
Is this something that is achievable? Is there any documentation that may help get us started or point us in the right direction?

For this particular project we don't have access to the original developers of the application. So it would only be plausible if we can somehow 'move' the environment rather than completely recreate it.

Regards,
Joel

Create a Zope instance on Linux using the same software versions of Zope
and add-ons as used on Windows and copy over your Data.fs. That's it
basically - except you are running some hand-made software depending on
Windows features or so.
