Two questions and a comment.

Why upgrade the frontend's distribution? If it is meeting your needs why 
change?

I run my backend on Centos 5.1. It provides all the services for my 
home, including LDAP, DNS, DHCP, RADIUS, SMB/CIFS including PDC, IPP and 
MythTV. I have upgraded from MythTV 0.20 to 0.21 without upgrading the 
OS or any of the services.
