You mean, you have performed upgrade on production systems without dying
of heart attack. I've just come from my first upgrade on my own system,
and after dealing with ldconfig -aout all my old binaries are working,
even X. So I'm considering now doing it on my two real production systems
via NFS. I see in the list there are people againts this procedure, I
really don't know what to decide, anyway I'll be able to reproduce my
original systems in case something goes wrong, cause I run the amanda
backup system so I've them on tape.
