Hi Richard, Are you intending to keep two or more systems running with shared home? That will be significantly harder than separate home directories. Upgrading in place should work - 9.13 -> 10.12 -> 11.3 is certainly feasible. [Do 9 - 10 and then 10 - 11 reading both sets of release notes.] All best, as ever, Andy Cater >
