last time i tried to update suse from 6.2 to 6.3 everything crashed ;-). i think the best solution is to just install a new suse and just make sure you backup /home (or where else you put private files ) on a different partition and then just go with installing then put everything back. if you have special program it is really possible that they do not compile again on the new suse (8.0) so you could also better download new versions of them.
i hope this is some help
