I'd say "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" but we all know how well I'd
adhere to my own advice...

But the final system move was successful.  Thanks to rdiff-backup, it went
better than I thought.  I just had to recompile MBSE and DOSemu so they'd
have 64-bit binaries.

I get kinda nervous about upgrading.  joe was somehow changed to where MBSE
and it don't get along anymore so if there's any sort of upgrade, I have to
reinstall the last working version.  I need to blacklist joe in slackpkg's
setup (Slackware's system updater).

But so far, so good.  A replacement CPU heatsink/fan will be arriving
sometime tomorrow afternoon so that will take care of the one major problem
that the server has.  The next thing I need to do is find an appropriate
SCSI card for it so I can use this Dell Powervault 100T DDS-4 external tape
drive I have.

One thing at a time, right? :D
