Sorry, I thought everyone had sent this:

http://lists.evolt.org/pipermail/sysadmin/2008-October/003318.html

Short story: I'm cheap (and want to be the coolest kid on the block) so I'm 
trying to do a remote O/S install.  If I succeed we'll have hardy.  If I 
only partially succeed, we may only have etch.  (and if fail -- tho failure 
is not an option -- I'll pay them to do the install, and we'll have hardy).

I'm currently doing dry-runs using similarly configured virtual machines. 
I'm doing a remote CentOS -> etch now, and then I'll tackle ubuntu.

It's taking a while because OS installs and re-installs take a long time, 
and (I have a newborn at home, so) my free time is a bit short.  But it's 
great fun!

And I'll keep you posted!
