CentOS 32bit to CentOS 64bit
I'm curious has anyone tried this? I'm not running cPanel or any control panel or even a web server on it so incompatibilities are of little concern to me.
So does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about doing this?
My method was going to download the yum 64bit rpm's as well as the centos release 64bit equiv. From there do the upgrading from yum.
But if anyone has done this and could tell me what they did that would be much appreciated.

I have done it right over with yum twice.. I have noticed that you can experience problems with ssh and a couple other packages. I have had one instance that ssh would be active but would deny access to root because some packages didnt update correctly namely pam. Also if you are not running the 64bit kernel and try to run the 64bit binarys you may have problems.

Yeah it's running a 32bit kernel that's one of my problems since I generally would use a rpm to update a kernel and well all the 64bit ones need 64bit kernel already installed to run the rpm.
