I think the only 'clean' upgrade I had was Centos 5.2 -> 5.3 and that 
happened by accident!

I have always taken the path to rsync all valuable stuff over to another 
box, do a clean install, then move stuff back.  I have a set of 
instructions on 'customizing' for each of my systems to follow.

I just added a 1.5Tb USB drive on one system that I am now using for the 
rsync destination.  I figure that when I need to update the system it is 
normally on, I can move it to another system...
