Hmm.  I just installed 7.1 today.  Should I download the new iso and
install fresh, or upgrade?  No real mods or extensive configuration has
been done yet...

Wait for the announcement?

If you haven't invested much time in it yet, install 7.2. Because if you
run into problems with 7.1, that's the first advice you'll get anyway.

No reason not to use them if the ISO images are available.

There is no guarantee that those are the final images (although they likely
are.) It has happened before that last-minute problems have been found
resulting in a need for images being replaced by fixed ones before the
announcement went out.


I suggest you wait for the announcement.  I believe the official release
(and accompanying announcement) is planned for tomorrow, so unless some
last-minute problem do pop you should not have to wait all that long.  (And
if there is some last-minute problem it is probably a good idea to wait
until it is fixed.)

If you have the time, wait for the announcement and then
download the new one and burn it and do it again.

Hmm.  The new torrent is awfully slooow, and so are the main mirrors
where I am.

Need to get the thing off the ground, though, so I'll take a risk and
start the download now.

Been hosed before, but if it works out, great!

Thanks..

Then they give a day or two for all the mirrors to propagate.
