Sorry for asking topinionsince I've read quite a few replies that say that
the best way to upgrade is by using packages and not compiling.
I always use compiling from source and have never had any problem with
that.
Naturally for those things that I'm not sure of I use checkconfig to run
the 'make install' so I easily can remove them if they don't work as I want
them to (this I learned after installing qmail, took forever to remove.

I would like some opinions about this, I guess I wont change but maybe
someone new to this can get some ideas.
