I'll answer it without any information... As an elder in the Church of the Known State, I'm a big fan of reinstalls. I view a reinstall like spring cleaning: Get rid of that junk you don't need anymore, get rid of the dust bunnies, and end up with a bright, clean computer, without the kludges that make the new version compatible with the old config files. Also, reinstallation is the time you can review your partitioning, and see if you need to grow and shrink partitions (obviously this wouldn't be an issue if I were using LVM, but I'm not). So, whenever I change from one version to another, I reinstall from scratch. Whenever I put Linux on a different computer, I reinstall. When I get a problem, right away I know I can rule out ghosts of versions past that upgrades let slip through. I almost never upgrade between one version and another, even minor versions.
