Be aware, however, that you may need to reinstall your ports/packages -- 5.2[.1] was considered a technology preview release for early adopters, and there was a compiler-related ABI change that came in between 5.2 and 5.3, which affects C++ apps. Nothing in the base system, I think, but my recollection is that KDE and the like needed to be reinstalled for me. Robert N M Watson
