Well... yes. This is my first time doing this. I don't have experience 
with customers, I'm the tech who works in the computer room and they 
just slide pizza under the door :) So I admit I'm nervous about having 
things not work.

I probably shouldn't be that nervous. My employer said that this was 
just a "test case" and the customer is friendly to us.

Okay, I'm sold. I'll set it up so I can upgrade through ssh. What do I 
do? I'll install an dns client on this guy's computer and setup a DynDNS 
account so I can ssh to it. Anything else I should do?

I'll test doing an upgrade through ssh on a couple of computers before 
attempting it on a customer.

Best,
Daniel.
