I have migrated through several versions of Rivendell and have determined that sooner or later all PC's are going to be 64 bit, so migrated to 2.0 when the appliance disk came out. We had to make a few adjustments to accomodate the change from suse to centos as some of our scripts had to be tweaked otherwise it was plug and go. Now we had enough 64 bit machines so no big expense, and the 32 bit machines became production and mail units. Our biggest enemy is heat followed by power surges which defy anything in their path. You will have to plan if you have a number of terminals to upgrade, and that may involve putting together a plan that enables you to cut to the new system in one hit, one hit, or a series of stages. You won't have a problem with the system or the OS you will, it sounds, have to be very clever about the migration. All the best Robert Jeffares
