Who told you to upgrade? Nobody. I know somebody running RH 5.2
with some updated packages and is perfectly happy. The "lust" of
upgrading and exploring a new distribution with some new
gimmicks is always there, I know. But this is for techies,
gamblers and people who just want to have fun with their Linux
box. And of course people who need just this one new feature for
their hardware or their purposes.
So, as Mandrake is known for living on the bleeding edge, nobody
should upgrade a "working/production environment" if his
installed system is fulfilling his needs.
He should test the new on a spare pc and may gradually include
the new stuff in his working machines after testing.
This way he doesn't pull on his (and others') nerves and all
will come out well eventually.
But I'm repeating well-known principles of life again.
