)I hope I wont regret moving away from debian, but they are so behind kernal-wise. Their current release is still at 2.4 last time I checked. But I will miss apt-get. And I dont think I ever seen yum actually work, and RPMs always have over 10 dependancies. (and those dependancies have 10 dependancies, and so on...)
Anyway, this is a huge upgrade, this server controlls every local service in my home, from DNS, file, and email, and also manages the news on this site, and the custom program in place for the news will most likely have to be recompiled to work on FC5, and reconfigured. I may even dump procmail (mail system that is a "in between" the MTA and the news software) and go with maildrop which is better. And this is my smallest priority.. well ironicly it falls in my biggest: email, I want to get that up and running asap, so it will involve getting procmail or maildrop configured anyway.
What sucks is I need to go to this wedding tomorow to do the sound system, so this will greatly delay this upgrade, but at least I get monday off which may help me a lot. Been waiting for a long weekend to do this upgrade and here it is.
So anyway, news might be down for a few days.
I figure this will take a few hours, but you know how these IT things go, it always takes longer then you think. I also want to install GSX server on that box, that should be interesting...
