Generally I haven't had a problem migrating from one machine to another of the 
same branch (ie RHEL4 to RHEL4, or RHEL5 to RHEL5).  Others might work but I 
haven't tried them.  For the last couple of years all of my machines have 
usually been only one minor release behind each other as I practice the 
scenario where there is an upgrade released, I migrate the containers, upgrade, 
reboot, migrate back.  Works for me.

TYL,
