Upgrade from potato to debian

[Shashank Bhide]

Hello all,
     I am trying to get my system upgraded from potato to woody. The 
servers in question are production servers. I have mysql databases and more 
such programs running off of these servers. How would a dselect upgrade 
affect all of this? Does an upgrade affect Apache web service? I will take 
a complete back-up of my systems. I will use tar for this purpose.

 I have been reading the mailing lists for related problems and the 
upgrade manual as well 
(http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html). 
However, at the end of this document it says that the kernel is not 
upgraded to a newer version? How would it affect if I don't upgrade the 
kernel to 2.4 at all?

 I would love get some pointers from all you gurus before I dive into 
upgrading my systems.
Many thanks,
Shashank
