Yes, this seems a good solution. I have to make some free space on my 
desktop and use Fedora with 'testing' repository enabled.
Is it okay to mix up both fedora-stable and testing softwares together? 
Or I have to disable 'stable' repository and enable 'testing' repository 
only? In debian-world, I've enabled only 'testing' and disable 'stable' 
(many people mixes though)

I have to learn many things but I'm not afraid of Linux. For the time 
being, I may not jump to the rawhide but I'll catch up soon.
By the way, you guys are really helpful and I appreciate your comments 
on a off-topic like this.
