Hi,

Just a quick FYI that, unless something really unexpected happens, we
plan to release Qubes R2 rc1 by the end of this week. We will also
support smooth upgrade from R2 Beta3 to rc1. In fact I have already
upgraded my main laptop (including dom0 to fc20) this way. Apparently it
works :)

Cheers,
joanna.

If you already using Qubes, then upgrade should be the best choice. To
make the upgrade an easy and pleasant experience we will publish even a
new fc20 fresh template.

But if you're considering to install Qubes OS now, then better wait a
few more days, and grab rc1 ISO.
