Hi Richard,

Are you intending to keep two or more systems running with shared home?

That will be significantly harder than separate home directories.

Upgrading in place should work - 9.13 -> 10.12 -> 11.3 is certainly feasible.
[Do 9 - 10 and then 10 - 11 reading both sets of release notes.]

All best, as ever,
