I have been running OpenBSD 3.6 since the day it came out, and am now in need 
up going to 3.9

The question is: 
What upgrade issues have folks run into? 
I'm running it on a DELL desktop. 

BTW, some of the reasons I want to upgrade: 
1. Support for PHP in the Apache mods.
2. Increased security
3. webmail
4. I REALLY want to get the Xwindows environment working (never did on 3.6)
5. I'm looking to expand some functionality and want to include things like:
PHP, MySQL, Apache, a PHP based store front, Java - if it's available yet, and 
general "client side functionality" 
6. So that I can deploy my current windows box as a backup server (It sucks 
.... low memory and CPU for windows, but I know OpenBSD will run fine on it -- 
I hope). 


So... Any hints, pitfalls, suggestions that people have run into before? 
in general is it safe to do an Upgrade? a former co-worker says "NO don't do 
that, never trust upgrades". I tend to disagree. 

Thanks, 
--Rob
