Any tips or catches to look out for when migrating a remote server (Ubuntu 9.04) to another (Ubuntu 10.04)? It runs LAMP, Postfix, Dovecot, Amavis, Spamassassing and Clam. I won't be doing it for a few weeks but I've never migrated a server and although I'm pretty confident it won't be too difficult I'm looking at building a strategy in my head now to make it as quick and painless as possible.Unless you've done this before an 'unattended' upgrade is not a good idea - several of the above mentioned (LAMP mainly) apps will ask which set of configuration files you want to keep and its worth looking at them as they go. I've a little headless viglen box that I upgrade through ssh and not had any troubles - its just a bit of a pain having to look at the ssh terminal regularly to check for human input requirements.
