My question: is what I am now using exactly the same as if I took the
Alpha 2 release and updated this?
Effectively yes.
And when we get to April release date,
will I then have an installation exactly the same as the newly released
Precise Pangolin, or ought I to re-install?
Debatable. There may be the odd setting here or there which you may be
carrying from an earlier update, but it's pretty much identical. Some
might suggest creating a clean user or deleting certain dot-directories
in your home, or doing a clean install. Up to you really.
Clearly, I don't yet
understand how the alpha/beta/release process works.
I think you do :)
If you install a development version before release you're going to get
a lot of updates up until release. Then you'll start getting the usual
bug/security updates afterwards.
Cheers,
Al.
