John,
Yes I know of the offer, have used it quite a while back. One of the
reasons I wanted to do it by zapping and reinstalling - if that is still
on the cards is to do with all the IPs (IPv6) and similar issues. But also,
I am just a hobbyist and enjoy the challenge but at an unrushed pace. But
thanks for your reply and information, very useful

I plan to rsync all relevant data files
(maildirectories, Bind conf
files, .authorisedkeys, mysql dumps etc.) over to my home machine and
redirect mail to the backup server then nuke the VPS with a complete new
install of Debian stable and set up as a 64 bit install.
You are aware of Bitfolk's kind offer to let you have two overlapping
VPSs for a short period in order to do this kind of thing aren't you?
Why not just provision a new one running the latest Debian, copy over
what you need, then nuke the old one? (There is a problem with the
kernel in the current Debian 64 bit not being Xen compatible, but there
are workarounds.)
Does the Bitfolk self-service-network-installer
coe with a 64 bit
option, or do I have to install Debian stable then convert to amd64.
I'd forgotten that 32-bit was still an option. Yes, they do 64 bit.
John
