I would like to upgrade a server that is currently running version 6.4
up to version 7.3
Having looked at /usr/src/UPDATING on a 7.3 machine, I don't see any
major problems flagged.
Given that I have console access to this machine, and I want to
preserve the user directories (it's our mail server)
would I be better off doing a source upgrade or a binary upgrade?
In the past, I've usually done a wipe-and-reinstall when moving
between major version numbers
but I would rather avoid that this time around.
Also, would people recommend staying with version 7.3 or jumping all
the way to version 8.1 ?
