Fedora does not have an upgrade path

Posted by: Anonymous Coward on December 18, 2004 02:56 AM
Fedora is built of leading-edge package releases. It's not designed for seamless upgrades, because they have a fast release schedule that is focused on putting out an up-to-date system, not backwards compatibility. Things change, things break. If you want a distribution with a dependable upgrade path, you want Debian, the queen of upgradable distributions. And there are doubtless other distros that you can upgrade dependably. But don't expect it from Fedora.
