I suspect I am the second one being dense :)

I am fairly new at this. I've installed 1.7.1 but:

* How do I know what the current release is ? (e.g. is there something
like /etc/redhat-release or whatever ? The docs mention /var/log/setup
... but is not clear at all)

* What is the proper upgrade procedure ?

Thanks.
