any chance we can get that translated into english?

(and is there a /translucent/ or /opaque/ squid proxy?)
what's transparent, and how does a debster set it up?

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #69 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
Preparing to UPGRADE POSTGRESQL? If you have a second machine
on your network that you can tinker with, do your upgrade
there, first: you can have your current applications link to
the remote database through the network:
psql -h 192.168.2.17 myDB
or in perl,
$dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:Pg:dbname=myDB;host=192.168.2.17');
(You may need to tweak your 'host-based access' settings in
/etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf, first.) Once you're satisfied that
all is well, upgrade your main server. No down time!
See "man psql" and "man DBD::Pg" for details.
