	4.9... it is the current stable release... 5.1 is the current devel release and
you run the rist of running into things that could be problem matic with it
especially for a new user. 4.8 is ok, but old and if you have 4.9 there is no
reason to use it...

	Read the handbook and the for newbies section of the site =] Those should
pretty much answer most questions. =]
