In a geek-encouraging bleeding edge distro like Fedora, I expect most of the people to behave like this. Myself included. :-) Also, frequent updating occasionally provides not just bugfixes, but also enhanced functionality of certain components. Which comes as a nice surprise, especially if it was something you were missing so badly... It's a nice feeling when you see improvement in a working system (as opposed to installing a later version of the whole distro). Basically, we're having a great time updating software to latest&greatest! That's why we run Fedora! ;-) Best, :-) Marko -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
