Hi, > We have (finally) made the decision to move our server (10 -Dell) from > Toronto to a newer data center closer to our office in London. I am not sure how the change in geographical location is related to the upgrade of FreeBSD. Will that be new machines? Or you are moving the existing server? If it's new machines, then you don't have to worry too much, you will not loose data. You can take your time to install FreeBSD and the applications. If you upgrade existing machines, one good move is to upgrade to the last version of 6.x, namely 6.4 before jumping to 7.1. Upgrade from 6.x to 6.4 will be less stressful, so it is a good practice. Also you should start with your less busy server (or the one with less critical data). Bests, Olivier
