Hey peeps. I'm thinking about getting a replacement dedicated server. I was thinking of getting a server from ServerBeach.com. They offer bother Debian 3.0 and FC3. I was think from a maintenance perspective it might be wiser for me to use Debian. Though now that 3.1 (Sarge) is out I'd prefer to use that. Is it possible and/or easy to upgrade 3.0 to 3.1 via apt-get dist-upgrade? Advice, experiences, etc appreciated. Regards

That’s pretty much the entire point, no? There’s a HOWTO along with the release notes. It’s slightly involved, but very easy. For the majority of people, things seem to go smoothly, but I’ve hard of a few isolated catastrophes. As always, be smart, make backups, then you can’t really lose.

Well there would be nothing to lose as I would be doing the dist upgrade as soon as getting the new server. Regards On Fri, 2005-08-26 at 20:23 +0200, A. Pagaltzis wrote:
