    Hi there,

    I've made now publicly available the script[1] I've been working on
    to substitute in runtime any distribution to Debian. It does not
    convert in the sense of mapping all previous installed packages to
    the Debian counterparts, but installs a base system or tarball and
    cleans traces from previous distribution, from there you are in a
    purified environment. =P

    It will backup some important data like /etc, and will not touch
    some other like /home. The script was conceived to migrate a colo
    that was running RedHat, so it's as less intrusive as it can be,
    it does not touch the bootloader nor the kernel, and a reboot is
    optional but recommended. It has been tested on RedHat and SuSE.
    I'm finishing the Gentoo network setup conversion code.




    The rest of it can be found here.

    And people always laugh when I say Debian will rule the world. Foolish mortals ;) .
