Before I ask this question, I would like to ensure everyone I will be reading all the docs I can find, but since the upgrade will be much work, I thought I would ask the question here anyways :-) Question: given the items below, should I expext the make and build of FreeBSD and the software below, to go pretty much as it did in 6.x? (Does anyone know of any showstoppers)? All software below has/will be built from ports. Synopsis: 10 Dell 1U Rack servers (Intel Based, SCSI) more or less standard entry level servers) All running -FreeBSD 6.x, -Apache 2.2.x -Mysql Server 4.x -PHP 4.x -Perl 5.x -Exim 4.6x -Spamassassin etc etc TIA, -Grant
