Yes. I upgraded from RedHat-9.0 to Fedora-1.0 on three very different computers, and had if anything fewer problems than upgrading from RH-8.0 to RH-9.0 on the same machines. I don't think any upgrade is "perfect" -- there are always going to be small problems on some computers. Eg Fedora did not recognise the ATI video system on my laptop (Sony Picturebook C1VFK), and I had to install in text mode -- but after that it ran perfectly, using the old XF86Config file. But exactly the same was true when upgrading from RH-8.0 to RH-9.0. Fedora seems to me to run exactly as RH-9.0 did -- though I am not running some of the applications you mention. In brief, I've been quite surprised how straightforward the upgrade has been, as I had expected serious problems from some of the postings on this list. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
