Well personally I downloaded the iso, burned them and
various people in the office are upgrading as I type.
For individual users it will still be quicker/easier
to download the isos and upgrade if there are a lot
of packages to upgrade. Personally I download the
isos, and install/upgrade them over the LAN (nfs).
