I see many here Kevin that have not upgraded since FC-6. ;-) Seriously a 'same day as release' upgrade for some users is not practical or wise. But past EOL, IMO, is a bad thing for the user. An upgrade from, say Fedora 8 to Fedora 9, is a waste of time since F-9 is next for EOL. And soon. *However* when I said 'planning for' I meant just that. *Too* many times do I see the surprised words of some user that updated/upgraded *before* doing any research. Research? I mean reading the Release Notes, FAQ's , and Known Problems/errata *before* even installing the CD/DVD. Not everything is listed. But much is. On another list, for another distribution, a luser was trying to install the x86_64 bit release on his PIII with 512megs of memory and failing miserably. It was almost three days before someone recognized the real problem. A lot of help was offered first however. ;-) -- David -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
