Journal Journal: Alright I'm convinced
Swaret rocks. I went from Slack 8.1 to -current without any trouble whatsoever.
Having been a Slack fan and user since the 3.x days and hearing all that time that Slack "does not upgrade well" I had my doubts.
Not anymore though. New kernel and everything without having to compile a new one. All dependencies handled insofar as I've been able to tell.
The only trouble I had was after reboot (yeah yeah I know I didn't have to) apache wasn't running. I started it manually and it ran fine. Apparently Patrick turned that off by default.
