Caveat compiler. We NEVER suggest that lusers (or, less experienced users) upgrade from source, even for a point release. We ALWAYS tell them to upgrade from CD, or wipe their disk and do a clean install. If you choose the upgrade from source path, YOU take responsibility for adequately educating yourself. Period, end of story.
