Hi all; Ok I've got a system running 6.0-release, it is an internal server and has nothing important on it. I'm running into problems where a lot of the packages are old and out of date, and everyday it seems I'm having to update 5-6 of em for something or another. I'm considering just wiping the system clean and starting from scratch to say either 6.4-release or 7.0 release. It is a sun netra x1 with a ultrasparc IIe 400mhz and 512mb ram. The machine is here at my location, so accessibility is no problem at all I know it is primarily my choice but feedback on whether a total wipe and reinstall with something a bit more current would be a better choice than fixing what I have. All feedback welcome. Thanks Gary
