I haven't actually tried it yet.

I'm putting up a new server and moving my domain to it.  The initial round of 
parts I ordered arrived last week, but when they did I found out that 
newegg's idea of a "barebones" x86-64 system does not include processor.  The 
processor arrived tuesday and I realized that all my spare cdrom drives and 
keyboards were in storage.  Brought that home yesterday, put the system 
together enough to find out that SATA uses a different power connector 
(possibly in the box which got thrown out, no it is _not_ powered from the 
sata cable, it needs an adapter and that may have been in the box that got 
thrown out).  Picked up such an adapter today, and I'll fiddle with it again 
when I get home.

I still need to:

  Call the cable modem people to get a static IP for my cable modem
  Install ubuntu on my new x86-64 machine.
  Configure a half-dozen daemons (httpd, sshd, dnsd, smtpd, plus it's
    replacing my linksys so I'll need dhcpd and firewall rules and other
    stuff I'm forgetting...)
  Migrate the actual domain.

But tonight is Geek Night (http://www.pghgeeks.org/) and I've been meaning to 
go to one of those for six months now...

I'm not exactly rushing, here. :)
