It turns out that migrating a linux box to a new hardware is not as easy task as it used to be. I’m running a Trixbox system on an old 1 GHz Pentium III machine. The owner of the box got another antique – a Dual 1.4 GHz Pentium III ProLiant DL360 G2 with two SCSI drives. So I was tasked with migrating the trixbox to the new hardware. It took me about 20 hours to get this working, but all the work can be done in 3-4 hours, depending on how much data you have. This guide requires you to have a basic knowledge of the linux architecture and the linux commands, as well as what is in the /dev directory. Due to the fact that trixbox is CentOS-based this guide can easily be applied to migrating a regular CentOS installation .

Welcome to the self-proclaimed Masterchef Georgi’s Cooking Master Class!
In Lesson 1 of 1, I’ll teach you how to make pancakes!
Before you start make sure you have the following ingredients:
- 500 gr. Flour
- 2 eggs
- 300-500 gr. of milk
- 300-500 gr. of water
- spoon of salt
- spoon of sugar
- spoon of sunflower oil or more, if you do not have a special no-oil-needed cooking pan
Pancake ingredients
You will also need the following tools of the trade:
- A frying pan
- A mixing bowl (anything big enough to hold 2 L of liquid will do)
- A scoop (you can use a bigger spoon too)
- A mixer (if you don’t have one you can replace with muscles and a fork)
Utensils needed for making pancakes
Pot
When you all those ingredients, you are good to go! Break the two eggs and drop them in the pot
Break the eggs in the pot
Mix the eggs with the mixer/fork
Add 200-300 gr. of milk to the eggs and 100 gr. of water
Mix the eggs and the milk
Add 200-300 gr of flour
Mix the flour
Note on the mixture: it is a matter of experimentation to get the right thickness of the mixture, so experiment – add extra flour, milk, water in order to get it right! After the fourth pancake preparation you’ll know what’s the right consistency!
Add the salt, the sugar and a teaspoon of sunflower oil
Heat the pan and add a few drops of sunflower oil
Pour evenly a scoop of the mixture in the heated pan
Bake the pancake on both sides, don't forget to turn it around!
Bake all of the mixture into incredible pancakes!
Use your taste and imagination for the filling! I really love some honey, some hip jam and some cheese!
ENJOY!
Expect Lesson 2 of my master classes – turning the pancakes around in mid-air! :)
