[Cialug] Upgrade questions

[Stuart Thiessen]

Ok, then, for an ideal system, how would you structure things 
(locations on HD, process of how you would do the backups, updates, 
etc.) so that you can update it properly on the OS / software side 
while keeping configurations and personal data safe as well as keeping 
aware of where software has changed significantly enough that you have 
to migrate configuration data to a new format (e.g., Apache 1.x to 
Apache 2.x)?

I'm asking so that I can learn best practices.  This way, if my set up 
isn't the best way, then when I am ready to update to a new version of 
Linux, then I can set it up better.

Any advice from you pros?  :)

Thanks,

Stuart
