This sounds like a good plan, since a new server means that you'll be 
testing the new hardware, the operating system updates you'll be 
applying, then finally the Koha upgrade.  Of course, if you allow enough 
time for testing and do a dry run or two, from your patron's point of 
view, absolutely nothing would appear to change until you're ready to 
unveil the shiny new Koha upgrade.

Regards,

Galen
