Curious About Updating.....

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello all ok so here's my question, and bear in mind this isn't a pressing matter as I have secondary and tertiary computers.

I have a laptop Gateway T-Series 3200...(I THINK! since there's no way of knowing cuz' there's no labels and the System only gives me "generic" info)
250GB Hard drive
Fedora 15
Kernel Info: 2.6.43.8-1.fc15.i686 #1 SMP Mon Jun 4 20:28:56 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux No special apps or tools installed aside from the usual suspects. (Firefox, LibreOffice, Thunderbird, and Pidgin)

So I know that I'm "behind" by a few versions, and I had recently posted before about updating to the latest version, but it seems that I cannot, at least not without a fresh install, and after reading quite a few posts about some of the problems people are having with Fedora 17 I'm wondering if it wouldn't just be wiser to wait until they've "perfected" it a little more?......or would it be wise to just wait for Fedora 18?....which is soon coming down the pike? Just wondering is all I'm open to any and all suggestions, and the only reason why I'm thinking about upgrading is because someone had told me that after a certain time-frame I cannot or will not be able to get updates for the version I currently have......

Thanks All!


Cheers!
