Linux Migration Services
Classic distributions
Debian: A Linux distribution that focuses on stability and compatibility, suitable for servers and advanced users. It underpins ubuntu and is behind most of the internet services we know thanks to its huge software repositories, security and advanced community support.
Ubuntu: It is one of the most popular and easy to use distributions, suitable for beginners, home and corporate users.
It offers a large amount of pre-installed software and an intuitive user interface.
Mint:A Linux distribution that focuses on ease of use and compatibility with older hardware, suitable for users looking for a comfortable desktop experience.
It offers a large amount of pre-installed software and an intuitive user interface.
CentOS: A Linux distribution focused on stability and security, suitable for servers and enterprise environments. It offers a wealth of management tools and a focus on security. Following the purchase of Red Hat by IBM, it has been renamed CentOS Stream. 
Fedora: It is a Linux distribution oriented to innovation and development, suitable for advanced users and developers derived from CentOS. It offers a wealth of development tools and advanced technologies.
New distributions
Rocky Linux is a Linux distribution that aims to be a direct replacement for CentOS, with a focus on compatibility and backwards compatibility with existing CentOS packages and tools. It focuses on stability, security and compatibility, and is a good choice for enterprise and server environments.
Alma Linux is a Linux distribution that focuses on compatibility and stability, with a focus on security and privacy. It is designed as a direct replacement for CentOS, and offers a wealth of security and privacy tools, as well as a wide selection of packages and software. It is a good choice for enterprise and server environments.
Both Rocky Linux and Alma Linux are good alternatives to CentOS, and are worth considering if you are looking for a stable and secure Linux distribution for your business or server needs if you don’t want to use CentOS Stream because it is more unstable and don’t want to get the support offered by Red Hat(or apply to one of their free programs).

Our methodology
Phase 1: Requirements analysis and planning
- Gathering information on current systems and business requirements.
- Identification of obstacles and challenges to migration.
- Creation of a detailed plan for the migration, including a project schedule, a budget and a designated project team.
Phase 2: Compatibility testing
- Evaluation of the compatibility of existing software and hardware with Linux.
- Testing of key systems and applications to ensure proper operation on Linux.
- Identification of any software or hardware that needs to be replaced or upgraded prior to migration.
Phase 3: Preparation and training
- Preparation of servers and systems for migration.
- Training for users in the use of Linux and key applications.
- Development of a transition plan for the smooth migration to Linux.
Phase 4: Migration
- Performing Linux migration on key systems and applications.
- Verification and testing of all systems and applications to ensure proper operation on Linux.
- Resolution of any problem or incident during the migration.
Phase 5: Support and maintenance
- Provide support and maintenance for systems and applications migrated to Linux.
- Continue education and training for users.
- Perform any necessary upgrades or enhancements to systems and applications migrated to Linux.
Our experience
At SIXE, we began migrating IT systems to GNU/Linux in 2004. We were our first clients. Back then, we had a web server and four desktop computers, a printer, and little else.
Over the years, we have migrated all types of systems for small, medium, and large companies. We’ve also worked with municipalities, ministries, and public organizations.
