Server Down-Time

I felt brave this evening and upgraded this server to run Debian Etch since it’s been marked stable now. The upgrade was not without it’s flaws and the server experienced some down time so if you found the site unavailable in the past few hours, now you know why.

I still have no idea what kernel I’m supposed to use with the fancy virtualization – I suspect that it doesn’t really matter since the virtualization software seems to handle that level of things. Either way, the server rebooted and came back with everything working so I don’t really care.

If you see any remaining problems let me know. I’ll probably make an attempt to upgrade to PHP5 and fiddle with the SSL set up now that the most annoying bug in the world is fixed. There’s probably a bunch of other stuff I can actually do now that the OS has entered the new millennium.
