Dru Lavigne finally had a chance to upgrade her home systems to FreeBSD 5.3. Here are her working notes for both a fresh install and an upgrade from 5.2.1 to 5.3.

“For those who are looking for migration examples from 4.10 -> 5.3”
Too bad. I was looking some more personal experiences/notes for confirmation before attempting to migrate 4.10 production servers to 5.3.
I consider Dru Lavigne’s help documents on FreeBSD to be *the* documentation resource after the handbook. Although, the rate at which she writes fresh articles has slowed down, but that is understandable.
Keep ’em coming, Dru!
FYI: Upgrading branches is not really recommended.
PSS: 4.11 is right around the corner.
