You can migrate between openHAB software versions by selecting the corresponding 4X menu option. (HEADS UP: Downgrading openHAB is not supported and will probably result in a broken system until you also restore an openHAB 3 configuration).

If you want to choose from release (stable), snapshot or milestone releases, please do so via `openhabian-config` tool (also menu 4X).

What we actually want openHABian to be is a **dedicated, headless system** to **reliably run openHAB** and to **expose all interfaces** needed to interact and configure it (MainUI, HABPanel, openHAB LogViewer, Samba Network Shares, openHABian Configuration Tool, SSH, you-name-it).

What we actually want openHABian to be is a **dedicated, headless system** to **reliably operate your home automation** on and to expose all interfaces needed to interact and configure it (MainUI, openHAB LogViewer, Samba Network Shares, openHABian maintenance tool, SSH, you-name-it).

However as you are willing to tinker with smart home technology, I'm sure you are ready to **teach yourself new stuff** and expand your experience.
