Well, I did install a GUI on this server.  I don't have the time to really 
relearn UN*X and learn all the new stuff.  Hard enough going from BIND 4.9 
to 9.2 and picking up Samba and Openldap (well I should have done more with 
ldap years ago, as I worked on a number of the IETF RFCs...).

Got the second address set up.

up2date ran.  Took much of the day.  It didn't tell me that I really needed 
to reboot......

Disabled the second address, logged off as root to log on as user.  KDE 
hung, had to hard reboot and everything SEEMS to be running ok.

I just selected all packages to update, as I had no way of knowing what I 
needed to update, I just had to be trusting....

Well, that is all for now.  Back to the Samba howto and ldap setup!
