<p>Personally I prefer to reinstall, but I orchestrate my personal
stuff using Ansible so it is not a big deal. I'd highly recommend
checking out Ansible or a similar orchestration language. That
and having the ability to keep your personal data contained in one
file system that can be quickly backed up / restored (ZFS is
awesome, tarsnap, etc.) gives huge flexibility. I easily moved
from FreeBSD to OpenBSD by doing this. I'd be glad to share more
after my trips if useful to you, Mark.<br>

<div>Assuming I have my data backed up and all of that, is
it better to upgrade an existing system or make sure I
have copies of all relevant config files and reinstall the
newer os (keeping the current file system in place)?<br>
<br>
</div>
Because I am used to upgrades on other OSes and applications
causing more problems than a complete reinstall, I am
curious what those more knowledgeable about FreeBSD think?<br>
