Since "this weekend" has lasted a while, I'll give you an update: the files are currently migrating to the new server, a process that will finish by the weekend. The process also brings with it the last of the plugins I'd planned to install; after configuring them and updating permissions, work will begin on readying the server for public access... which is a process I'll talk about in detail when I'm not pecking away on a phone.
Why'd this take so long? Well, I was waiting to use the new machine until after I'd made backup and restore disks for it...only to learn that it doesn't have a writable drive. I then took forever deciding on what new RAM to put in it, not wanting to start the machine with the 4 gb of RAM that it had. We now have 8gb to devote to this, so that's cool I guess.
Anyway, I'll update when the process is done and the server is back up. I expect it to be completed this weekend, for real this time, I promise.
