I hope you will excuse this 'composite' posting rather than several individual ones, clogging up the list. Thank you all for your friendly and informative replies. I really do appreciate them. As there will be several major differences between FC5 and FC6, I will definitely get FC6. However I will wait a few weeks for the first batch of upgrades/fixes to come out before I install it. It's a good point that a newcomer to a distro should not plunge in immediately it is issued! In the meantime, I have not yet decided whether to get FC5 to use as an 'Introduction to Fedora' or to wait. I'm still thinking about it. Owing to my broadband limitations, both versions will have to be purchases. Again, very many thanks for your replies and I am looking forward to getting to know Fedora Core. Cheers Keith
