I’m currently on Fedora 8, having gone through all the versions back to Red Hat 0.9 in 1994. That is the main reason I stay with it—I know it pretty well.

Dude, I'm only on Fedora 5 and 6. It's too much of a hassle to keep up to date on the Fedora releases IMO, because they seem to come out so fast :-) By the time I have my desktop working =exactly= like I want it, it's time to upgrade to the latest version. I've been giving moving to something else a lot of thought, because I am really annoyed by the codec issues with Fedora.

I must say that F8 is the best Fedora so far. Wireless “just works” (first time ever, for me), sound “just works”, video “just works”. Once you install the livna RPM, everything is available and you just need to install mplayer and xine stuff. It’s definitely worth checking out before you switch distros.
