Re: System upgrades

[Jason Pincin <chardros@linuxkb.org>]

I say Bind, Kernel on Yukon, and HOPEFULLY MySQL.

I think we should go to 2.2.14 on yukon.  Should not be too big of a task.
DAC960 drivers are in the kernel now, etc.  

I'll attempt MySQL again.  Last time was a total flop... and I ran out of
time... so I'll plan for longer this time.
