  • Turtle and I will coordinate in real-time over GTalk.
  • I'll shut the game down some time roughly at 7 PM EDT and pull the backups.
  • Turtle will physically power down the server and swap drives.
  • Turtle will run through a net install of CentOS. He did a dry run tonight installing in a VM on his MacBook while playing Minecraft. How long did that take? 45 minutes?
  • I will restore the backups, install Java, and restart play.
Hopefully the full ordeal won't take any more than 2-3 hours.

Spoiler (click to toggle):
I might bring up the world on AN proper while we're waiting, too.
