Nb I'm not criticizing the production of test versions, just trying to clarify the philosophy behind them.
It's quite simple. FC-5 is a release i.e. it's as stable as fedora gets, and shouldn't eat your data. FC-6test1 is the first test release of the development tree that will lead eventually to FC-6. As such it could well eat your data and run off with your wife. I would only consider installing FC-6test1 if I was interested in tracking the development process and could afford to hose an installation periodically. The very fact that you're asking this question strongly suggests you should install FC-5 and stay away from the development releases. HTH Jonathan.
