Hello,

I have a 2 years old gallery2 installation on a Suse Linux box, using PHP4, mysql and apache.

I'm planning to move this installation on a Win XP box running also Apache, mysql and PHP5 upgrading to the lattest gallery2 version at the same time.

I have the following plugins:-

see:
FAQ: How can I move my gallery installation from one server to another?

the linux -> windows move should be easier than the way around (if it was the other way around, you'd have to rename all mysql db tables).
