Hi all. I have an old FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #0 and was wondering if anyone has any opinion whether I should do a binary upgrade to 6.3 from CD or do a csup and makeworld? May I run into any difficulties in the future depending on which way I go? Or is it perhaps possible to go direct to 7.0? -- Andreas
