I worked at RedHat in 1999 and I won't attempt a network yum distro upgrade again. It can become a week-long complete waste of time and energy and I exhausted my considerable repertoire of curse words entirely several times ... but, on the other-hand it can become a learning experience of sh*t you never knew existed. One little digital blip or burp can wreck everything. Several hours to update to FC6 via yum? On a T1 probably. <evil cackles> But, if you like to walk on the wild side, go for it. My money says you'll regret it. Ric
