It's common enough advice for servers, or other computers where you want a long lifespan. Fedora needs upgrading about once a year to the next release, or you'll not have any updates for it, leaving you with unfixed bugs, and security problems. Alternatively, CentOS has a much longer support cycle (several years), where you can continue to update packages without having to upgrade the entire distribution. Upgrading can be quite a hassle on servers with data that needs keeping, or converting to newer formats, or if you have equipment in a rack that will need disassembling to change/add a drive because of boot device restrictions. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
