6.x -> 7.1

[Jacques Manukyan]

There shouldn't be any problems with the upgrade. I recommend you read 
over the following section in the handbook:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/updating-upgrading.html

Also, since this is your first time doing this, I'd recommend you get an 
extra machine and install your current environment on it. Then try 
upgrading it as per the handbook. Once you're satisfied you've done it 
right, then repeat the process on your production boxes.
