A good idea.  Those machines do a great job of that very task.

Well, IMHO, yes to the mistake part.  If this box will indeed be a
router for your home net, and it's already running 4-stable, why touch
it?  Remove unnecessary things from the system and let it run.  It
doesn't sound like the best machine to try 5 on, anyway.
