The members of this list are great participants. If you need a stable release I would advise FC4, but even with FC4 you will need to make sure to avail yourself of the upgrades after you perform the installation of the fc4 distro. I have been following Fedora from FC1,through FC4 and recently started changing the desktops from MS/xp to FC4. The acceptance from the users has been better than I expected. The only software that is not replaceable has been MS Publisher. I probably will not upgrade these units to FC5 until the end of 2006 to make sure most problems have been resolved with the new release. Have Fun!!!! Greg
