I've just received a new, faster box with a *much* bigger hard drive which I plan to use as the gateway server in our computer lab. My first thought was that I would just install minimal 4.10 and then copy the rest of the old disk over (dump and restore) because that's what I did when I got a new hard drive for that machine. But I think I've seen people comment that it would be better to go ahead and install 5.3 now. I know how to use ssh and tar to copy over the LAN, but I'm worried about the configuration of my current binaries. Still, it *might* not be that much trouble to reinstall all my binaries and that would probably get rid of any stuff I never use. I haven't seen anything in the freebsd-stable mailing list to make me think 5.3 is dangerous, but it's still called CURRENT, which makes me nervous.
I guess I'm just looking for recommendations -- should I install 5.3 now or stick with 4.10?
