I currently have web servers running 2.1.5  Release.
I would like to know if there is anything special I need to do to
upgrade to 2.2.1 .   I have adaptec 294 cards, and would also like to
migrate to the intel etherexpress PRO/100B Network cards.

Is this a straigtforward upgrade, or a complete re install and
reconfigure?  Any tips as to what I can expect BEFORE i jump in feet
first would be appreciated.

Another note.  Is the adaptec driver that is included on the april 97
cdrom from walnut creek the one that is buggy under a high load?

Also, what are the advantages of the 2.2.1 over the 2.1.5?
I am wondering if it is worth waiting another 6 months or so before
doing an upgrade to whatever is likleyt to be the release this next
fall.  ( I don't like to upgrade for minimal reasons. )

Finally is there any special considerations in using 64 or more megs of
memory with FreeBSD?

Thanks in advance,

Blaine
