So I'm still waiting for the last components to arrive for my build (hopefully next week) but then I'm building my first freenas machine.
With 11.3 being almost out, would you recommend I just hop on that, or just be safe and go for 11.2?

Installing a pre-release could mask build issues.
Go with 11.2-U7

Wasn't planning on pre-release, but 11.3 is coming out jan 7 so I thought I could maybe hop onto that the day it comes out. I'm just receiving the last parts for the build today anyways so would actually be pretty good timing.
But i guess 11.2-U7 is way more production proven...
Can there issues transitioning from 11.2 to 11.3 if i decide i want to do that later? I really don't want to lose a pool once I migrated.
