You might actually be better off upgrading first, before you create
a production directory. 2.0.x allows lots of schema inconsistencies
in the directory which later versions will barf on. That's probably
the reason why Redhat kept 2.0.x even in their RHEL flagship; there
are enough production directories out there which will break after
an upgrade, to make the transition a support nightmare. Since you're
starting fresh, better face the >2.0.x consistency requirements
before you're in production. 2.1.something is in Fedora.
