Linux upgrade.

Show all headers | View raw

As part of my christmas tradition, I always upgrade my linux when the 
holiday starts. The reason is that if something goes wrong, I have a long 
time to fix it, without anything work related getting in the way.

Every year, I am equally surprised when things just work. I move my dot 
files, and all application are there, with the settings I'm used to.

Even my compiled programs such as alpine, leafnode and possibly one or two 
more, and my python invoicing application, could just be moved and worked 
right away.

So the upgrade took me 45 minutes, and the only modification I needed to 
do was to update my midnight commander config file, because apparently 
someone in the project decided on a new config format between version 3 
and version 4.

Impressive!
