I think i will try both.The only thing i expect is i shud select what
to update and what not to.And Fedora runs well after the update (i am
horrified of post-update stories of Fedora)
Unfortunately i could do very less R&D on Fedora coz it doesnt have
System restore,nore 'Add remove programmes(those which i havent
installed from FC3 cd)' and a XP-like repair wizard!
