Curious And Worried.....

6K so I've FINALLY gotten through the pre-upgrade process, (Thanks to al who gave me input, advice, and instruction!...it was invaluable!) So I have finally gone from Fedora 15 to 16.(not wanting to go to 17 until a few more bugs have been worked out!) But I'm LOVIN' 16! My only concern is,

What about a SystemRescue CD?I've been told they have tools that can help out in situations where you can't seen to get into your PC?and is that all I would have to backup if I wanted to go from Fedora 15 to Fedora 17?using a fresh install"home" and "etc"..is that where all my skins

I argree with you on that, and I apologize, I didn't mean to seem like I was insulting anyone, I just have this bad habit of voicing my thoughts in a" very-much-like-Spock" kinda way! Hope no one's offended! As for building my OWN desktop from source?I'm too timid and afraid to even attempt

I agree! After dealing with all the "Conform Or Die" attitudes with Windows, and all the software vendors who only catered to Windows in the early years, I can say that Gnome is the absolute best in keeping things fresh and easy to do, not to mention when I show it to others who are still sucki
