Now that Squeeze is around the corner, I was

Squeeze since I am running on Xen.
Any experiences/ suggestions welcome!
Do let us know how it goes. My first suggestion would have been 'let
someone else be first!' :)
It is why I will do it on my home server first. I have upgraded
several time over the years but previous upgrades have not had such big
changes to deal with as the lenny > squeeze upgrade does.
At least with my home server, if the upgrade goes tits-up, I can install
squeeze from scratch using a recent iso, not so simple on a VPS
It looks like grub-legacy won't get replaced by default. I'm using
grub2 on my workstations/laptops but if Xen doesn't like grub2 who am I
to complain ;-)
