If its not being used and outage is not a problem, I would recommend |
| 2 |
reinstalling. I'm against doying it, but 2 years is a lot, if you have |
| 3 |
any servers (MySQL, PHP) it would be an issue, you'll have MAJOR |
| 4 |
changes to X, OpenRC and I'm not even talking about the kernel, udev, |
| 5 |
etc. |

I would back it up and reinstall, guess it would take less time and be |
| 8 |
way smoother. |

Just my 2 cents... |
