/me gonna upgrade dapper to edgy. Not installing FC6.
I will maybe install PC-BSD again for a few days of fun.

Hmmmm....everybody's talking of Ubuntu. I'll give it a try too then! I downloaded and installed Free-BSD latest version on VMware. Haven't explored it yet!

I don't know about how Fedora handles its upgrades but if it is like other distros then can't you add a repository for current packages and just upgrade the distro? Why would anyone want to do a fresh install of any distro for just upgrading the packages?

 

[mehulved]

Well you can do upgrades for sure. I have seen upgrade option in Fedora CD/DVD's. And I guess pup/pirut/yum/smart can do it too.

@eddie, I know that bro! Yum+repos can handle everything! Actually instead of upgrading the packages,kernel etc , I like to keep exploring the net and install everything that mah fedora doesn't have! I mean any tar/rpm file that I find on the net I just install it if I find it useful. Earlier on FC4 I had installed some 100+ softwares (that were not bundled with FC4 or cudn't be found thru yum+repos) even though Fedora is a montrously bundled distro! I had a lotta nice softwares. But then when I upgraded to FC5 most of those softwares (downloaded from various sites) didn't work correctly and needed a recompile. So I really don't like to upgrade a nicely working distro, but instead I like to increase the number of entries of useful applications!
Also if I start to upgrade the whole system it will take a lotta time. My PC is used heavily in mah family, so I can't leave the PC to go on downloading and updating itself for 2+ hrs . All the distros of Fedora and I got them from magazines (friend's chip or my digit). Its way easier for me to upgrade like that from CD's.

So I really don't want to upgrade that frequently and just like to do mah work peacefully! I hope u understand!

Neways I'll install Ubuntu on mah secondary workstation i.e mah Lappy!

Oh I just forgot about that thing. Gentooers are so spoiled
Anyways I completely understand your point. An upgrade in this condition will surely break loads of stuff.
