I thought you were suggesting a separate test box.

I do have partitions set up so that I can have two root partitions. That
does provide a fall back if I really hose things up. I generally don't
like to bounce back and forth though and now I am pretty much just using
rawhide and not F10 for my two desktops.

I have found some oddities with sharing /home between two version of Fedora
though. This time around the volume control disappeared.

Between doing an initial install, tweaking /etc, updating to current rawhide
and installing a bunch of stuff it is normally going to be faster for me
to fix whatever broke rather than reinstall. However, I can see where other
people might find a reinstall easier.
