Hi!

Thank you for this bit of very interesting information.
This actually convinced me to move up to 6.2.
(I formerly tried to avoid this as I'm a little bit frightened by the 
 idea of upgrading from 5.5-rls to 6.2-rls)

Are there some things I really should think of? (Besides making a Backup?)
(I'm using http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/upgrade/freebsd-upgrade-5x-6x.txt
 as a reference and checked the RLS notes of 6.2)
