With as much as folks in our rag tag group like to do distro flip-flopping and 
in place upgrades.. yeah.. I suppose a "Resinstall/Upgrade Best Practices" 
talk would be a good topic.  If no one else wants to do it I guess I can.. If 
I do, I'll try to keep is as UN*X distro agnostic as possible... and let some 
of our "BSD elitists" lob random BSD best practices into the mix as we 
go.. ;)  Good stuff.. it'll also give me a purpose to get off my bottom and 
get FC5 finally installed.. :)
