I think the question to ask is WHY you would still like to migrate. As a
general rule, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. But if (like me) you're
into change then I'd recommend you do the following to migrate (note that
these are my personal views as far as a migration are concerned. I am very
into clean installs. Others may give you more practical approaches
especially if your system is very large or a clean install is not
possible):
1. Set apart a partition or a separate drive to carry your data
temporarily.
2. Back up all data and configuration files for services that matter to
you. Great opportunity to finally clean up your system and go back to
basics by keeping only the essential.
3. Wipe out your system. Great opportunity to rethink your partitioning.
4. Install from scratch. Again a great opportunity for going back to
basics. Install only what you need.
5. Use your backup configuration files to configure your newly installed
services.
6. Restore your backed up data and test your system.
Good luck! :-)
