upgrade-o-rama

Apparently, lenny has been released, which then means I run this magic script and then everything becomes ever so slightly different, presumably Better, but we'll see.

For more fun, this is another one of these "we need to bump the kernel, too" upgrades -- and there's specifically stuff about how they now deal with the AMD k7 models differently (the new world lumps them into the rest of the 686 boxes).

Which means we've probably got at least 2 reboots before everything will be totally happy. This being debian, everything has undoubtedly been thought through most carefully and things will Just Work. Or maybe not. Heads up.

Right now I'm running El Grandemundo Backup and reading through the release notes one more time. Figure sometime in the next 48 hours I will amass the courage to finally throw the switch.
