Upgrading a 5.1-RELEASE-p10 system...

[Glenn Sieb]

I'd like to update a server from 5.1-RELEASE-p10 to 5.3-STABLE...

What I'm wondering is: Are there any caveats to this upgrade?

One of my compadres asked me:

So I just wanted to be sure, so I can plan accordingly...

Thanks in advance!
Best,
Glenn
