Hi Eileen
I was waiting for Bram to reply.
I have more details about using Linux for DSpace here:
http://wiki.lib.sun.ac.za/index.php/SUNScholar/Dspace
As far as upgrading AND changing platforms, the answer would be that you
export all the contents from the old version and simply import them to the
new platform.
However the facility to export a whole archive does not exist with DSpace
1.5.2 as far as I know.
Somebody on the list may be able to help you or @mire.
But you can go ahead with the guide to build the new platform, ready to
receive content.
As far as automated tasks go, see:
http://wiki.lib.sun.ac.za/index.php/SUNScholar/Daily_Admin for more details.
Regards
hg
