I think upgrading from Woody to Sarge isn't easy. Woody is almost three years old, so at least you have to read the documention to get an quick overview of the changes... After upgrading you have to reedit some configuration files, too! For example upgrading from Exim v3 (Woody) to Exim v4 (Sarge) is a radical change! So here's my advice: If you don't need any feature of Sarge and if you are complete satisfied with your system, don't upgrade! Otherwise I advise you to plan this major system upgrade. It will be a lot of work! Greets Simon! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
