You can upgrade the whole way. The upgrading scripts will bring you
current.<br>
<br>
Then you just need to hook up your new RT instance to the old database
(or, copy the database to your new machine first).<br>
<br>
My database isn't on the RT machine so it makes it easier. We generally
build completely new RT machines for each major version, or when the OS
needs an upgrade (RT 3.6.x to 3.8.x, RHEL 4 to RHEL 5, etc).<br>

<div>I guess basically what I"m looking for is the shortest line from
3.2.1 ---> 3.8.8</div>

<div>Is there a general rule of thumb? like every 3.x I should look

You want to have a look at the UPGRADING files.<br>
The database structure is not compatible and you will need to run the<br>
various scripts described in UPGRADING.<br>
