Thanks Tim,
If it takes more then an evening, I will simply restart the old server and
try another day. I have already built the new server ... I simply need to
move the database information, archives, news feeds, and change the DNS.
Sounds easy enough, huh :-)?
Take care,
Paul

Hi Paul,
I thought this would be a good time to mention once again what a great
resource GS is to myself and I'm sure the whole GS community. And, I want
to thank you for all the time and effort and money you've put into it. I
have no doubt that many of the ccie's out there today would have had a more
difficult time passing the lab or would have taken longer to pass the lab
were it not for GS.
Regarding the server /OS upgrade, will there be any change in Group Study
from a functional point of view or will the changes be transparent to the GS
user?
Also, for how long do you expect GS to be down (I'm not holding you to it,
just looking for an estimate, a couple of days, a week, etc)?
Thanks, Tim
