7.2  6.4 is the last release in 6.x so no 6.3 unless specifically needed.
8.0 is nearly here.  Do a clean install, it will be easier for you in the
long run.  Probably easiest to do a trial run by installing to VM first eg
VirtualBox guest.  You wouldn't find hardware issues, but you might work out
the exact steps you'll need to take to help minimize downtime.

/usr/src/UPDATING can give you some specific info.
