I'm not aware of any gotchas, but you never know... fortunately, the
Cobalt has a serial connector and getting a null modem cable should be
relatively easy in case something goes wrong (which, of course, I
hope it doesn't).
Some people mentioned hangs after upgrading from etch to lenny, which
apparently don't show up on a fresh installation of lenny... Oh, and
you definitely should remove bind9 in case you have it installed (see
#516616).
