For me, upgrading from 2.1.x to 2.2.2 with the sysinstall upgrade option
was pretty easy. Make sure you have a backup of your /etc directory
beore you start. You'll have to do a lot of editing of the new /etc
files, as most of them have changed considerably since 2.1.x days. Once
you're finished with the upgrade, double check all new configuration
files and diff them with teh old ones. It takes some time, but it's not
that hard.
