    I've always gone the new install route on any OS upgrades that I do (unless there are
    circumstances that prevent it) If you can do a clean install, that's always preferred. I don't recall any problems in situations where I did do upgrades...

    Good Luck,

    Can someone lead me in the right direction for information on upgrading
    from 4.33 to 5.2 on an H80 and M80 server. I'm sure many of you have gone
    through this already. What can I expect? Should I try an upgrade route or
    is a new install cleaner? Any ugly problems encountered? Any help is
    appreciated.
