I've had problems with past OS replacements. I think it was a 7x to 9x conversion.. Where it wouldn't read the shadowpasswords correctly.... And the Samba files were different so I had to do a bunch of tweaking there as well... With as many shares 30-40 shares and users, I expect it to be difficult. Doing the install is easy... It's putting it all back together that's hard.

What makes you say that? I can install/configure a virgin rackmount computer with the 4.0 DVD in under an hour. What exactly are you concerned about possibly tripping you up?
