I've tried to upgrade from Fedora 10 to 11 on my personal laptop. However, since my hardware is 6 years old, it is not going well. I think 10 will be the last distro this laptop sees, after going from Fedora 1 in 2003 to Fedora 10 today.

It's had every version except 6 and 8, as those two just wouldn't work well with my hardware. It's been a good laptop--now I guess it's time to upgrade. :(

Fedora can be a bit sketchy, and a bit bloated.. It is Red Hat’s proving ground for future releases of RHEL..

I went through a FC2 phase and now have FC6 up and running. I have not found a clean way to upgrade - in essence it’s always been starting from scratch. The other side of the coin is that FC is so stable I’ve never found a pressing need to stay cutting edge.
