[Asterisk-Users] Migrating Asterisk

Hello All,

My asterisk installation has now been running for over two months
without a hitch, and I've decided it's time to move things around a bit.
It's currently installed on a 2.7GHz Celeron under RH9 installed on a
10GB "leftover" drive.  Thanks to the strange marketing method called
"Mail-In-Rebate", I have a fresh 160GB drive ($50), and I'm itching to
install a GenToo Linux distro.

I also have a 1.2ish GHz Duron with Mobo sitting around here, which may
just be enough to power my (barely ever transcoding) asterisk install.
Should be enough, even if one channel were transcoded occasionally, no?

Let's say I start with a fresh machine, GenToo (2.4 Kernel), and a
recent Asterisk (which one?  I'm running HEAD from 05/02/2004 right now,
heavy on SIP, no problems), and move one of my two X100P for the timing
source... Would it be enough to copy over the Asterisk config and VM
files?  (yes, yes, they'll share IP addresses, so I don't have to
reconfigure my devices)

So...
1) 1.2Ghz Duron, enough for transacoding a single channel?
2) X100P sufficient timing device for *?
3) Which * source does the list recommend?
4) \var\lib\asterisk, \etc\asterisk and zaptel.conf are all that's
needed to migrate the current state of *?

TIA!
