Migrating from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion Server

Hi all. I kinda drop in and out of this forum, mostly when I've got a puzzler that I can't figure out. My journey from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion was a little slow. I tried to make the transition from Snow Leopard to Lion and failed, but this time I made it and I thought I'd share a little scratchpad post I wrote to document what I did. Mostly this is about adding back a few things that I really need. Here's the list of stuff that I added back:

• Firewall management (IceFloor)
• MySQL
• Webmail, email filtering rules and email aliases (RoundCube)
• "Group" emails (short, multi-recipient email exploders)
• Mailing lists (Mailman)

I also dramatically improved reliability by adding a lot of memory, and doing nightly-restarts of the machine.

Here's a link to the post

I'm happy to report that the new server has been running for a month or so and all seems fine. Whew. A long journey. Thanks to all of you who posted things that helped me along the way. Hopefully this will return the favor.
