Advice before beginning AntsleOS 0.5.0 to Whatever-is-Current Upgrade
I have one of the original 32GB RAM / 2x500G SSD / 2X 2TB HDD Antsles...
It's running AntsleOS 0.5.0 and AntMan 0.11.1d
I'd like to ask you experts for some advice (or a reference to a guide that applies to updating something this out of date all the way to current versions of the OS and AntMan). Anything special I need to consider when things are this far out of date? (more info below these two long listings that follow)

I've shut down each antlet, taken a snapshot of each, and done a zfs send antlets/machine-name@snapshot-name | gzip > /hdd/backup-file-name.gz and copied those off the Antsle to separate storage for emergency use. I've also copied the entire /etc/libvirt directory structure off the Antsle to a backup location on another machine.
Any other tips or tricks before I "take the plunge"? Is it as simple as shutting down the antlets and doing "upgrade-edgelinux"? (remember I'm at AntsleOS 0.5.0) Does AntMan get updated in this process or do I "upgrade-antman" afterward? (or before?)
Thanks all! I look forward to getting access to all the new stuff!

Hi Tim-
I have some "generic" advice in the form of this doc article that talks about the upgrade. As you can see, it requires a fresh OS install.
I'm pretty sure that you'll want to first upgrade-antman and THEN back up all those antlets - one of the recent upgrades in the last few months was to allow antlets to be backed up from the older Gentoo based environment and run on the new CentOS based OS.
... and AntsleOS 0.5.0 is "Gentoo" under the covers, so the upgrade-antman should succeed... correct?
Does the backup process in the latest antman also backup common system settings? Network config etc...? OR will I need to record and re-create after the fresh install?
Thanks for the help!
Tim
