It's not entirely true. You always should install using the latest iso and it is also important to release new isos regularly. Due to our continuous updates and changes old isos and especially netinstall are broken. For example you cannot run a netinstall with an old iso (without updating it first) due to the switch to xz compressed packages.
Ahh.. busted., I missed that completely in my train of thought. But without the change in package compression it would still hold true. Prior to the xz compression change, I had had no problems using the 2/09 install media even after the 8/09 install media was released. Thanks for keeping me honest ;-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
