I want to explain one of my experiences . I was using Fedora Linux version around 20 . A new release has been published : Fedora 28 . One action would be to install Fedora 28 from scratch OR use upgrade ( or update ) from ( let's say ) from 20 to 28 . To attempt such an action in FreeBSD , perhaps , would be a disaster . Can I do this in Fedora ? My loss would not be big because there is not any other choice by installing 28 from scratch . Would you please read the following Nasreddin Hodja case : https://ingilizcehakkindakihersey.tr.gg/What-If-It-Becomes---k1-Ya-Tutarsa-k2-.htm Since in install , all the hard disk contents will be erased , make it by updating . I have started the upgrade . It took many hours . At the end : A perfect BOOT and WONDERFUL continuation work without any problem . When you install FreeBSD and expect a boot , perhaps it is a dream to see it due to its install complexity . With my best wishes for all of you .
