My own experimenting with FC4 showed that it wasn't until about half way through its life that it became good. Observing a friend using FC5 for some time before I started using it indicated to me that more time was needed before FC5 became a sensible idea, and FC5 is still in a shambles. I run several boxes, here. The server still runs FC4, because my experimenting with using FC5 on another box shows that it's not practical to change over. If it's not practical to move to FC5, even after all this time, I seriously doubt that FC6 is going to be an improvement this close to its initial release. The time between release is too short. The main bugs just get ironed out before the end-of-life, then the baby gets thrown out with the bathwater with the next release. It's radically different, the mistakes that were made have not been learnt. Fedora keeps re-inventing the wheel. -- (Currently testing FC5, but still running FC4, if that's important.)
