No, you should be fine.
second question
upgrading from apache 1.3 to 2.0 Is there anything I need to take into consideration or can I just install the packages
You can pretty much always "just install the packages", as it will yell at you about any missing dependencies you might have.
You should get the new module-init-tools when upgrading to a 2.6 kernel, else you might have problems loading modules and stuff.

I'd also suggest grabbing the new headers and re-compiling your tool-chain (glibc, gcc, binutils, zlib, ncurses, texinfo) with nptl.Quote:
