we plan an system upgrade on edge server. To make an backup of the whole
harddrive before, the server will be offline for 1-2 hours, today, later
afternoon.
the edge is back to live with ubuntu 8.04, which is planned to be supported
until 2013.
Anybody who knows sites/services there is encouraged to check them.
For those which want to upgrade their debian based systems
Once ago I read that upgrades should be done from version to version.
I did the upgrade in 3 steps from edgy->feisty->gutsy->hardy by changing
/etc/apt/sources.list for each step and run an apt-get dist-upgrade. In the
feisty and gutsy steps some dependency prolem occured (was not able to
install apache2-threaded-dev), but now it seems fine.
