Hi,

I was under the impression that each newer iteration of the distribution,
the user should do a clean install.  Yes it does support upgrading, but for
best results - do a clean install?  I'm also curious as to why you're
upgrading instead of just doing a plain-jane install.  Shouldn't the
packages you have installed have a newer, better version?  Thanks.
