How much pain can you endure? How important is it that the system be working come next Monday?

My advice would be to restore your old working system and then write "I will not experiment on my production server" 100 times. ;) (This is a lesson I have learned from experience more times than I would care to admit.)

Then set up another box for the new system, install, configure, test and migrate. It's just not worth it to mess with your production server... IMHO

Good luck...

Dear Folks,
  I need advice. The forklift upgrade from 3.1.2 to 4.0.0 turned
into a nightmare. I've already burned the Christmas time off, now New Year
is coming up. The system as is, is not production grade. some of the
behavior (random logouts) tend to point to a memory staved system. That in
itself is strange, since I've run 32 terminals just fine in 4GB in v 3.x.x
and now i have 20 terminals in 4GB with essentially no memory free
(buffers at about 100MB, free mem at 40MB). My choices are rather stark:

1. blow away the current setup, reinstall from 3.1.2 cds, restore *old*
backup (data loss rather small - it is a slow period), upgrade Mozilla and
OO and wait for fixes to Fedora (weekend destroyed)

2. put up another server and spread the load to test the "memory
starvation" theory (weekend saved). if that works, i can wait for fixes
using new software, if it doesn't, i'll be hard pressed to go back to the
3.1.2 version, because all the evolution created files won't be compatible
with the old version, so ' i'd have to upgrade evo as well.

vote early, vote often. give reasoning, come up with a better solution?
thanks, julius
