Usually, when I upgrade the OS on a system, I take the opportunity to hardware upgrades and reload the entire system (exlcuding my archives) so I can get it all done over a weekend and manage to get away with almost no business-hours downtime. So usually my "upgrade" consists of dumping /etc to tape and reloading it after the install. That leaves one major question: What config-file rework will be needed to load 3.x configs into 4.0? -- "Nothing is more noble, nothing more venerable than fidelity.
