While in the process of upgrading a system from 3.0 to 3.1-stable. I ran across a url that quoted Jordan Hubbard on which method was the best way. To install fresh or up from source. http://www.freebsdzine.org/features/cvsup.shtml In the article Mr Hubbard suggests that a fresh install is the best way to go about the upgrade. As compared to a source upgrade. (I've completed the upgrade to 3.1-stable using source.) I am unclear as to what the down side to doing the upgrade via the source was. All that is stated in the quoted mail was that it was a cleaner install. What exactly is a "cleaner install"?
