That's because a technical support list isn't the best place to gain a good understanding of a product's reliability. Most of the people posting are posting because they had an issue, not because everything worked fine. The folks for whom everything works great out of the box generally aren't posting about that fact. "Hey, I installed FC3 today and everything worked!" "Hey, guys, when I installed FC4 over my FC2 installation, the upgrade was smooth. Despite this, I expected evolution to not work. To my surprise it works great!" "In upgrading my server from FC3 to FC4, I forgot to dump my MySQL databases first. Fortunately, all my databases worked just fine without my having to do anything." These are not the kinds of stories posted to a list like this (in general). So of course you're going to get the impression that "everything is broken" when the only people talking are the ones posting things that are broken *for them*. -- Chris "With the way things are starting to go in this country, if forced to choose between being caught with a van full of pirated DVDs or heroin you'd actually have to pause and think about it." -- Michael Bell, drunkenblog.com
