Jumping from FC10 to FC11
Finally I had enough spare time to sit down and carefully upgrade my VPS to Fedora Core 11 using the recommendations to steer clear of any possible issues. Needless to say everything went without a hitch. The only thing that should be redone is clamav which I setup in hast but that’s trivial.

Green light for Oracle’s deal over Sun Microsystems
Hallelujah!
