Yeah, or else a multi-day extended downtime, with a robust
backup/snapshot of the root partitions so we can undo any
experimentation safely.
We could live-upgrade server3 to use it as a guinea-pig, for it runs
no essential services right now. I'd advise RHEL5 or even 6 (beta, or
we could wait a little more) as opposed to Fedora, since the latter
not only permits but forces regular OS upgrades. I'd rather not touch
the guts of the machine again for a few years after the next change.
