What has "changed" is basically everything. I wiped out Mandrake and 
installed RedHat. What hasn't changed is, I didn't wipe /var (because that 
has my postgresql databases on it as well as qmail) or /export (because that 
contains all my shared Samba file systems.)

I do have a laptop with the same KRUD on it, and it is doing just great. 
Unfortunately there are some differences due to the kind of install.
