Hey, just so you know ... this post is now about 15 years and 10 months old. Please keep that in mind as it very well may contain broken links and/or outdated information.

Today I did an in-place upgrade on my server from Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) to 8.04 (Hardy Heron) and it went pretty smoothly (considering I did it remotely over an SSH connection). I had to re-apply a few customizations to various config files but for the most part all of the hard work I’ve done tweaking server since initially setting it up last October was preserved. Nice work, guys!
