There is quite a lot of traffic both here and on the fedora list about this exact topic. A bit of archive browsing could have saved some trouble. However, in fedora's bleeding edge quest it doesn't guarantee smooth upgrades from one (frequent) release to the next or even that it will work on the same hardware and their list is full of examples where such things break. > I, too, have a parallel effort with Ubuntu underway.

It will be interesting to see if they can manage system-level stability while still staying current with applications. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
