i upgraded my main server from 1.6.2_STABLE to 3.0_STABLE,
remotely,
without any issues. the thing which took me most time
(apart from
automatically building all the packages in a pkg_comp
chroot) was
postfix configuration migration, but even that took less
than an hour.
just make sure you carefuly fix things with postinstall and
properly
merged local configuration with etcupdate.
