Wisdom dictates not using cooker on production servers.
I am not wise.
I tried out beta 1 and all the basic stuff ran so well I put it up as a
production server. I did have problems with htdig which I didn't find until I
was committed.
Some strange athlon/via/sis problems went away and I am loathe to go back to
8.2. I did have one ext3 incident but a reboot made it go away
Beta 2 on a desktop machine was less satisfying and to get work done, I went
back to 8.2.
Now I would like to try beta 3 on the production server..
While I am not wise, I am sane.
I will listen to suggestions for the best way to migrate from beta 1 to beta
3.
If this can be done by updating the existing server that would be neat. It
could be done piecemeal with a backout plan it things go bad.
I can also bring up a spare server with beta 3 and transfer data.
