Migration to a new server

[Stelio Chr. Valtzis]

Grazie Enrico,

My intention is to migrate from a physical server to a virtualized so I have plenty of "fooling around" lives before the game ends.

I might draft a short doc with my experience/steps and share with the community for further enhancement if anyone has some time to spare.

Will revert once victorious.
