I’ve spent the past couple of weeks upgrading all my systems at home.  My firewall is finally updated to a recent linux distribution and I built a new staging/build server with lots of horsepower and disk space.  I then migrated all the data from multiple machines onto the one staging server.  I’m still migrating, but most of the important stuff is now done.  You’ll notice that the graphics-muse.org web site was also updated in the process.  It’s now all centered on the new version of wordpress you see here.

Migration is always a pain.  Things don’t work out of the box no matter how well you plan for them.  Fortunately, most of this migration happened without a hitch.  The only real problem was migrating my old evolution 1.4 files to a new server and importing them to the latest version of Evolution.  I finally found out how to do that.  For posterity sake, I’m going to make note of that process in my next blog posting.

With the systems upgraded my colo server is now ready to be upgraded.  It will get new hardware too, plus a recent version of CentOS.

All this should keep me happy and without major sysadmin work for the next 3 years or so.  Then we get to do it all over again.  *sigh*
