I am a big fan of staying stable, but after buying the 4.2 CD and installing
clean, it seemed to work better than the 4.2 stable I had built by
rebuilding since 3.2.  Maybe it was operator error, but the clean install
seemed to run much better.  For example, the previous installation took a
long time for the buffer daemon to shut down.  The CD installation is much
faster.

Is this a valid argument for installing from CD, or did I just miss some
vital instructions somewhere?  Or do glitches like this generally only occur
over major releases?
