I would like to upgrade my XFree86, samba, smbfs_mount, Qt, GRASS, etc and have been trying to do this by cvsup and upgrading one at a time. Is it better to simply upgrade the entire system to the latest and greatest or upgrade one at a time? I currently have 4.4 and don't know if 4.7 or 5.0 would be better. The machine is my company server and if anything goes wrong, I'd be dead meat, which I'd rather avoid. Thanks, Jeff.
