NT to FreeBSD Migration

| Has anyone done this or something simular before? I've been preparing a FreeBSD server to replace 2 boxes; one NT and one Linux for a while now, and I'll implement it on Monday. This server will act as a PDC, and provide file/print sharing, VPN remote access, DHCP, NAT, DNS caching, web content caching and act as a firewall.
If any of you have done this or something simular before I'd appreciate any pointers. | |

| The migration went very smoothly. I started at 7:15 and by 8:30, when most of the end users came in all but one service, and most of the shared files were up. I finished the migration around 10:00.
After that it was an uneventfull day. A few users commented that the Internet seemed faster, but that was about it.
Here are the server's hardware specs:
K6/2 350MHz, 128MB RAM, 20GB Deskstar HD, 3 10/100 NICs
For software it's running:
FreeBSD-stable, Samba, BIND, Squid, MPD-Netgraph, OpenSSH, DHCPD, NATD, IP Filter, Portsentry, Snort and Tripwire
I monitored resource utilization throughout the day, and with the exception of memory, all resources had extremely low utilization. I'll double the memory next week to take care of that. | |

Don't you just love it when a plan comes together.
