You won't feel it too much, but I have migrated this blog from gao-2002 (a.k.a my wife's workstation) to gao-2006 (my workstation), in order to give gao-2002 a much needed OS upgrade, from Fedora Core 6 to something newer, maybe Fedora 9.

I had a false start on Sunday when my first attempt resulted in some errors. I spent the last few evenings experimenting with different migration procedures. The final move this evening took me about 27 minutes, from 8:43pm to 9:10pm, most of the time was spent on customizing the page templates.

Here's some parameters of the new setup of this blog:

• AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+
• cpu MHz: 2210.216
• Debian GNU/Linux 4.0
• Java 6 OpenJDK
• Apache Web Server 2.2.3
• apache2.2-common including proxy_ajp
• Tomcat 5.5.26
• Pebble 2.3.1
• JavaMail 1.4.1

[Update] I'm having some additional challenges with the new setup. When I saved this blog entry, I received an error page. I'll see if I can get this blog entry published by some other means. The worse thing that can happen is this blog may become unreadable for a short time.

[Update] The above attempt did result in the home page not rendering correctly. I reindexed the whole blog. I hope this time it works.

[Update] OK. It finally worked. It's 11:46pm now. Time for bed.
