Stored e-mail will transfer just fine, but be very careful about user
id/group settings. That's the tricky part.
As someone else has alread mentioned, as long as you don't change
versions, most add on software could care less about the OS. BIND 8.2.3
files are exactly the same on Linux, xBSD, Solaris and NT. The only
sendmail file that's system dependant is sendmail.cf.
