2.x cfg -> 3.x install?

I have not seen any RPMs for distros yet but I usually build from
source for Nagios :) because the installs I have seen generally do not
include the embedded perl interpreter which is something I make heavy
use of :p.

Dag Wieers is where I go for RPMs for Redhat-like systems; I don't see
anything but 2.x RPMs there yet.  I think most places wait until a
stable release is out (which makes sense) before releasing RPMs.

Yes, transitioning from 1.x to 2.x was a pretty big deal and not so
easy, I remember that clearly.  Moving to 3.x was much easier and the
new configuration directives in the Nagios 3 configuration language
along with custom variables really help make for a much easier to read
and manage configuration :).
