It sounds to me like a case of 'upgrade fatigue'. I think we've all been there. You get something working the way you want it and then something new comes along. Do you A) upgrade and hope for the best? or B) Stay where you are knowing it'll work the way you like. I think a lot of the answer to that question comes from previous experiences. If the OP has been bitten by various 'hiccups' that come from upgrades enough times, he'll be very conservative. If not, then he may think, it'll work just fine, it has in the past, and do the upgrade. For some people it seems that a new Fedora version is released and virtually immediately after all the kinks are worked out of that version, a new one is released. I can certainly see that causing this kind of post. -- Frustra laborant quotquot se calculationibus fatigant pro inventione quadraturae circuli Mark Haney Sr. Systems Administrator ERC Broadband (828) 350-2415 Call (866) ERC-7110 for after hours support -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
