Just about to install 10.5, anything i should know?

Like the title suggests really. Am currently running tiger on my MBP, have a copy of Leopard now and am looking to install.
I have been advised that doing an erase and install would be the best idea, but wondered if anyone here had any advise. I can see the benifit of doing a clean install, but just not looking forward to backing everything up and setting everything up again (network took a bit of tweaking etc).

Either way if the best way really is to do the clean install then thats the way i shall do it, not going to risk anything for the sake of a few hours.

Just any advise welcome thanks.

From experience I'd recommend an erase and install. I upgraded Leopard on my MBP (original Core Duo model) and kept getting random lockups and kernel panics. Put up with it for about a week before I backed everything up and nuked it.
