Hi, here's a small Christmas gift for the 64 Studio community :)
As you all probably know Debian/lenny has been delayed and it is not yet clear when it will be released (it was initially scheduled for September 2008). Practically this means that we can't set any schedule for a lenny-based 64 Studio 3.0. So we decided to change a bit the plan and start working on an Ubuntu/hardy-based 64 Studio 3.0, which is a platform we already deploy for several projects and known to be stable. For the braves of you here follows some instructions about how to upgrade from 64 Studio 2.1 to the developing branch of 64 Studio 3.0. Please keep in mind that all this is still in alpha stage, but should be already pretty usable. Last but not least, please note that the procedure below has been tested on the i386 version only. The amd64 version was not tested, but reports are welcome. Merry Christmas and happy testing to everybody. Ciao!
