Opensuse 11.2

[reason8]

The new Novell OpenSUSE 11.2 comes out tomorrow. I am currently running 11.1. Will there be any problems with performing a upgrade to the new version that I should be aware of?

Thanks!

As far as I know, ISPConfig 3 has not been tested with this version yet.

Opensuse 11.1 support comes to an end this December.

I have a running Opensuse 11.1 ISPConfig 3 server and i'm thinking to upgrade it to 11.2.

Are there any guidelines? Does anyone have done it before?

I would like to hear thoughts or experiences.

Thanks.

Here's a guide for upgrading from 11.2 to 11.3 - maybe you can use it to upgrade from 11.1 to 11.2: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-opensuse-11.2-to-11.3-desktop-and-server

I suggest that you make a backup of the system before you try it.

Thanks for the answer falco.

By backing up what do you mean. I'm already taking daily backups of all web sites, databases and /etc files.

Should i take a complete image of the systems (perhaps with dd)?

Do you have any proposal?

That would be best. You can do it with Ghost4Linux or CLoneZilla:

Hope it sees the RAID device. I will try it (sometime next month) and report.

Thanks.
