Hallo there,
SOrry tu buzz in like this, but i had a running WEB/SQL/Mail server on ubuntu 6 and decided to
upgrade to 7.04 from your tutorial…and guess what…it messed up my entire system.
Fortunate enough i had a backup from my important files and i dediced to migrate to debian for more stability
So i just thought you should know, that this did not work for me .
Anyways, i`m glad you posted this here. I am also sure that if you would have a “empty” system, this might have worked
Cheers, and no offence
