Writing Manifests for Windows

Earlier versions may behave differently. Just as on *nix systems, Puppet manages resources on Windows using manifests written in the Puppet language. There are several major differences to be aware of when writing manifests that manage Windows resources: Windows primarily uses the backslash as its directory separator character, and Ruby handles it differently in different circumstances.

Ssh - Authenticate Linux sshd with TACACS+ (Cisco ACS) EOLUpgrades. If you want to know whether your release is EOL please have a look at the following resources: These guides assumes that the user knows his way on the terminal, as no graphical tools are used.

EOLUpgrades

This said, the steps for executing all the commands are actually copy/pasteable so everyone, from beginner to advanced user running EOL releases of Ubuntu can execute the upgrade(s). In case of problems you should be aware that most (if not all) of the releases which are mentioned in this guide are UNSUPPORTED, and getting help may be a bit tricky since most of us have already upgraded to a more recent version of Ubuntu. You could always try to run the upgrade path first in a virtual machine (vmware/virtualbox/qemu or others).

All the upgrades of this guide were performed and tested in virtual machines (except for 6.10 to 7.10 which were executed on a Compaq/HP laptop NC6000). Why upgrade.
