Tru64 to Linux (RH4) migration

I'm finishing up a series of migrations from Tru64 5.1b servers to RH4
Linux on Proliant DL140, DL360, DL380 and DL385s.

The services that I've moved are things like Oracle 9i and 10g databases
(RAC), WebLogic 8.1 applications, sendmail (to qmail, sendmail or
postfix), NFS servers, jabber IM servers. The environment consists of
lights-out configurations using serial-line consoles, remote access and
monitoring, Storageworks NSPOF dual-fabric boot from SAN (no local disks
in Proliant) SAN-based tape and disk-to-tape backups, remote disaster
recovery capability via remote copy, etc.

How much interest would there be in a series of white-papers on these
types of migrations and configurations?
