[TYPO3-english] looking to migrate 3.8.1 from centos 4 to centos 5 - php, db and other components upgrade

[Eliott]

Thanks everyone, I am convinced and will do the upgrade as soon a 
possible, however, it would not be wise to do two changes at once, so 
after I have everything migrated to the new server (this is the highest 
priority now), I'll start the upgrade on a test site.
thanks again
