Another great blog entry from lonesysadmin.net! I’ve been burned too many times by upgrades too. Either they fail or leave a lot of cruft behind. As a result, I try and do fresh installs whenever I can. Or use linux distros such as Gentoo which are designed to handle rolling upgrades.
To make installations as easy as possible, I try and set up the infrastructure to automate it. I wish there was one common way to do this. Instead I’ve had to use kickstart, jumpstart, IgniteUX, and multiple Windows techniques. It’s a pain to go through this exercise but it pays off in the long run when kicking off a system build only takes a few minutes.
