Actually, I haven't had the nerve to do that yet. I have a complex
web site on the computer that I don't want to mess with; of
course even with a complete reinstall I can keep /home , including
the web site, but I would have to redo all the config files. Since I
use the system constantly I'm a little reluctant to go that way.
An incremental upgrade would be preferable.
