I can't agree here, 5.2 is one of the best upgrades to come along as
long as you do a complete upgrade and not patch a 5.0/5.1 upto a 5.2
system manually. There are just too many dependencies for this method.
I had a problem with my own upgrade but that was a simple problem to
fix as long as you have a correct the /etc/fstab file with no 'ignore'
lines that might have been put in there from previous upgrades.
However, I still say it is a good upgrade with lots of the latest
packages.
