[ale] Migration How To

[Jim Kinney]

I upgraded a f14 -> f16 yesterday. Not a single hitch (I was shocked!). I
used the preupgrade tool.

You will be stopping EVERYTHING during the upgrades. Much of the JBoss
stuff will likely break as the upgrade will be sure to upgrade the jboss
stack which crosses at least one java version line.

HIGHLY recommend you do a dump of your data and a fresh install.

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
