Hi, >>>> In my case, I found Fedora very expensive to upgrade. >>> That I can understand --- upgrading twice a year, especially when >>> it's questionable if the upgrade works --- can be painful, all the more >>> when you have many machines to upgrade. It gave me a lot to worry about >>> even with only one. If it helps, I upgraded a number of systems from F17 straight to F18 without a problem (except for a little packaging bug in openjdk). Some of those systems included packages from external repos like rpmforge. So you could upgrade once a year instead of twice. Upgrades from the network take a long time. It would help if we could point to a local DVD install media and use the updates repo at the same time, so fedup don't take so long downloading packages. Better yet, it could be possible to make a local mirror of the updates repo (rsync?) and point fedup to it. This local mirror could act as a "cache", with fedup checking if their packages are the latest and downloading from the net if not.
