Personally...i would wait and buy/download 7.2
as it is much better/easier...for install/use etc.
but if not, install on your HD...6.0 will run you thru
the setup process...but it is very hard to understand at first...
if you've never installed linux before...it might take several trys...
before you get it right. After the 6.0 install, all you do...to upgrade
is to
NOT re-format the /home partition (just root), and do a full re-install.
