If your 10.2 is doing everything you need it to do, there may not be a need to move to 10.3. If you need a new feature or just want to stay current, then you have a reason to move up.

When I moved from 10.2 to 10.3, I backed up a few important documents to a flash drive, and then did a clean install of 10.3. That way, I was starting fresh. At the time, I did not have very many files, so it was not an inconvenience to start over with an empty /home.

Now, I know numerous folks who have upgraded to 10.3, but have left their /home partition unformatted. That way, your settings and files are still there ready to be used again. That can be done during the installation when you use the Expert Partitioner.

Either way, if you decide to do it, should prove successful. Good luck!

That's pretty much what I did. I found, at first that there was some instability and bugginess with 10.3, but that was cleaned up with the last release of nvidia's drivers.

The upside is faster boot times some improvements to yast, and a green theme.
