I don't know what you're doing to make Fedora fail often enough to worry about this, but my experience is very, very different from yours. The last time I did a clean install on my desktop, it was F9 and, except for F10 and F15 which I skipped because they seemed flaky, I've used preupgrade to go from one to another without any trouble until F16. Right up until that upgrade blew up on me my computer was rock solid, running 24/7. And, if my suspicions are right, it's either a bad USB port or keyboard that's giving me grief, not the OS, but that's beside the point. For the vast majority of users, Fedora, like any mainstream Linux distro doesn't keep going tits up on you and needing reinstallation. Instead of spending so much time on disaster recovery, you might consider spending a little time finding out just what it is you're doing (or not doing?) that's making your system act so hinky. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
