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.. :)
