Thanks for this Steve. I would have had a look at whatever the latest version
is before proceeding. However, I'm running this on an old Fedora 9 box and
like to stick to using RPM's.
Can I upgrade to 9.1 on a FC9 system using RPM's?
Also, the last time I did a server upgrade (FC4 to the FC9 system) upgrading
apache, PHP and postgresql broke so many things in my applications it was
painful. Can anyone suggest ways I can soak test my systems before upgrading
the live system?
