It's how I like to do it [tips fedora]

I have never had problems with clean installs and I 
have formatted my drive so that there is always one 
spare partition available to use as root (ok, two, 
since I like to keep the previous Fedora, just in case 
something ever goes wrong).

There is less configuration and fiddling with a clean 
install than with an upgrade, in my opinion, while, 
reading these lists, I see again and again mention of 
problems others have had with conflicts, unresolved 
dependencies, lingering outdated configs and whatnot.

As soon as a problem arises, the first advice one 
receives will be to back up the home directory and 
start with a clean one. So, what is to be gained with 
an upgrade over a clean install? Time? Negligible, I 
think, and what gain there might be will be spent many 
times over comparing old and new configuration files.
