I remember Gnome... I setup an installation of 7.0-Release for testing and figured I'd try gnome, over 2 hours of pkg_add later every thing worked (it was not a test machine I would want to compile gnome on).


DrJ poses a good mind set imho, "why do you want to upgrade?".


With how much of a pain it can be at times, it makes sense to upgrade when there is reason or necessary rather then staying up to the minute.


Portupgrade is a great utility and worth learning to use if you ever touch ports. I've given up on it for most things, but still find it useful. When I upgrade things on my systems, I usually do it in a 'rip' and 'replace' manor anyway.
