Re: [mh] Linux 32 or 64 bit OS? Fedora?

[Joel D. <jr...@pr...>]

I wish I'd seen this last night, as I just kicked off an upgrade from
FC12 to FC14 using preupgrade.  I guess I'll find out tonight if my
desktop system is dead or alive.

Even if it goes smoothly until I see a valid rationale (like in another
2 years or so when the hard drive fails, I'm hesitant to upgrade my mh
system (which is running FC12), as it's been running smoothly for a
while.

I know distribution choice is very much a personal preference - I've
been using redhat/fedora for more than 10 years and have gotten
comfortable with it.  I tried ubuntu a couple of years ago when I got
tired of sound not working in fedora but gave up when I couldn't find
stuff.

I'll update the list on the success/failure of preupgrade when I've had
fc14 running for a couple of days.
