Any how-to on upgrading would be appreciated! I prefer upgrading from source, and the handbook has lots of info on this. If you don't want to build from source, you can use your current sysinstall if you first set the correct release name in the options screen. Ask this question on -questions as well. You find many more people there with experience in upgrading. There may be numerous tarpits they can help you avoid that we newbies have never encountered simply because we're newbies.
