Hi, true that is a little bit annoying to re-install the system every 6 months, but ...
Why you do it ? What is your special need that makes you MUST have the new version ? What use do you make of your Fedora system ? For my laptop I like to have the newest releases, of course. Added functionality ? not always but sometimes. More good looking ? rarely My server: I only change stuff when I have to! Other thing: I have been doing updates and upgrades to my laptop OS using preupgrade. Little intervention and automatic process. Never had a problem, so far. You want a better method to upgrade a system ? Windows ? Xp to Vista ? 2000 to 2007 ?
