[Koha] Re: Moving from Fedora to Ubuntu

[Matthew Metzger]

I am wondering the same thing, except I'm doing it on another machine 
just in case I make a mistake and it doesn't work.

Can I use the database dump from 2.2.4 and restore it into Koha 2.2.5? 
Will there be any problems with doing that? Or should I install the same 
version of Koha as my old system, restore the database, and then upgrade 
to 2.2.5?

thanks for any thoughts you may have.
