Hello Guys, I would like to upgrade my server from 4.8 to 6.0. I think I know how to upgrade a system, I already did that for 4.3->4.8. I need the upgrade because some ports starting to throw errors and refuse to build. :-( It is a production server and I need to be careful. I have some questions: 1. Is it okay to use 6.0 for the production server? (I already have another 6.0 and tested it with various apps; it looks good but...) 2. The server is using a special .so file that was compiled for 4.8. We do not have the sources. Will this shared lib work with 6.0? 3. Should I upgrade to 5.4 first, or can I upgrade directly from 4.8 to 6.0? 4. Is there any special documentation that I must read before I upgrade to 6.0? Thanks, Laszlo
