People,
I have been following Atomic for a long time and have been wanting to test it out but other dramas have kept me busy . . I usually have my latest machine as my Fedora Workstation and my previous workstation as my server for about a dozen small web sites and as a mail list server. I have finally gotten around to buliding a new workstation with F29 and turning the old WS into the F29 server. So now I have been able to use the old server as the new Atomic host and as a consolidated backup machine for all my old backup hard disks - mostly SATA but going back to IDE and one old SCSI backup that I had an early version of RH running on a 386.
Atomic is just what I wanted for this backup machine - small and fast and a platform from which I can learn more about Atomic. I do have one question though:
Could I make a dd image of the old SCSI drive and get it booting as a virtual machine on the Atomic machine?
Many thanks for all the work that has gone into Project Atomic and I hope to learn much more about it in the future - including hosting my Rails and Jekyll Docker images . .
Regards,
Phil.
