Linux software upgrade.

I lost some data from my previous wiki page. The following suggestions are very general other than specifically for mediawik.

As with all MediaWiki upgrades, the basic premise is the same:

  1. Check the requirements
  2. Read the release notes
  3. Back up existing files and the database
  4. Unpack the new files
  5. Run the update script to check the database
  6. Test the update
Especially make sure to do the right backups.
