Well, you did ask for opinions. They tend to not be conflict-free.... :-) I haven't had problems doing a reinstall from a new ISO image to update a FreeBSD box which was more than a major release out of date. But, I was at pains to verify that I had complete backups and time to rollback if needed, and I also made sure to rebuild all of the ports after doing the OS reinstall/upgrade. > I've got an ISO of 7.4.
