I have done this a few times.. make sure your firewall configuration is up to
date and is safe so you dont endup firewalled out when you reboot, and you
may wish to put some cron entries to do some things (like reboot) after 10
minutes of rebooting in case it boots successfullly but you cant get in for
some reason. I dont know of a speciffic guide..
