I currently run a 2.2.8 machine. Is there a guide somewhere on the exact process of bringing this up to the forthcoming 3.0 stable branch, such as the conversion from sdX to CAM, a.out to Elf, what softupdates are and who should use them, SMP, and the like? I am about to buy a new, dual proc mainboard to coincide with 3.0 going stable, and all of these are of interest to me, but I'm not sure the best way to migrate from the 'old' 2.2.x system to the 'new' 3.x system.
