I started with fc17alpha and have upgraded to whatever was current this
morning. You can play with preupgrade if you are a stickler for perfection,
but running "yum upgrade" has worked well for me. I think going with a beta
of some kind, RC4 has been mentioned, would work as well.
Any upgrade tends to leave some cruft behind, if you want perfect you would
have to do a full new install, which generally has no functional difference,
just a "debris field" of stuff not quite cleaned up. I see no reason not to
go if you can wait, or want to test drive over the holiday.
Great ideas, thanks. I'll play around with it in a VM for a while.
Thanks,
Alex
