The difference is a binary upgrade using sysinstall booting a later version
CD or using cvsup and a source install. Both should work fine for your
setup. If you want to go to 6.X you should go to 5.5 first.
Read /usr/src/UPDATING in all cases.

Hi everyone,
I'm think I really need to upgrade from 5.4 as I'm having a slew of issues
with my programs- specifically exim-sa-clamav-
My concern is that this was the only BSD install I had ever done with
assistance from a colleague from across the border- So all I have been doing
for the past year is cvsup-ing and portupgrading- however as mentioned
earlier I'm running into issues that are consuming too much time for me to
resolve as I am a one man IT department here.
The first thing I'd like to know is if my box can indeed handle the upgrade
to 6.2 -
I have the following hardware-
PIII 500mhz
256 ram
8 gig hard-drive
The ONLY thing I use this box for is to filter mail that then gets passed to
my exchange server-
Are there any gotcha's I need to lookout for before attempting this upgrade,
since this filters my e-mail if I screw up- I will have no incoming mail-
lest I choose to redirect my SMTP directly to my mail server- NOT A GOOD
IDEA.
So I see there are two methods of upgrading - sysinstall or makeworld- what
would be the optimal choice for someone with limited experience in the BSD
world-
Thanks
