I haven't tried to upgrade yet; my first two installations have been
fresh installs.

Despite what I'm sure is extensive testing, any new final release is a
bit bumpy at first.  I've hit some rough spots with my first two
installs, but nothing terribly out of the ordinary for a fresh
release.  If I want a really smooth transition to a new release, I
wait a couple of months, I don't try to do it the day after it is
released (which is what I did this time, but only on machines I'm
willing to sacrifice to the effort).  On stable FC3 machines that are
important to me, I'm following the "if it isn't broken, don't fix it"
philosophy for now.  I'll consider upgrading them in a few months.
