It depends on what you want to do with it. There were some problems in 
4.6-release that affected 20%. I wasn't one of them. If you are going 
to install the iso and stay with it, wait until 4.6.2 is released. If 
you are going to install and then cvsup RELENG-4, it doesn't matter if 
you install 4.6.1 and upgrade, wait or not. Following RELENG_4_6 would 
also probably work just fine.
