That said, if
you're just starting out with Linux, I'd proceed with the
upgrade from Lenny -> Squeeze *very* carefully (but don't actually let
that put you off; there's not much to lose).
If you decide to do the upgrade then I can dig out all the references I
used when I did it at the weekend.
That would be most welcome. Any pointers to avoid disaster can only help.
If your VPS is
not yet configured for anything you may be best off
installing it from scratch with Squeeze.
It is configured, but I can repeat what I've done fairly easily if I need to.
Also, don't forget that you can just reinstall from scratch rather than
upgrade:
