We could only guess, we can't *know* how someone else does it unless
they say how.  They may well just carry on using un-updated software,
just hoping that it won't be a problem.  They could compile software
from the sources.  They might on update to the new releases of Fedora
and transfer their own files over.

My update strategy has usually been to install to a new harddrive, if
I'm not installing to a completely new computer.  Get that new system up
and running.  Copy over the old data to the new system.  Put that new
system on-line.  Keep the old system as a backup for a prolonged period.
