I've used it for a long time with only once having an issue when doing a 2 level upgrade, but now do the upgrades each version. Only things, is to make sure to do the full update before running upgrade. It prompts you for that at beginning. Another little thing. If one is using winehq package, one will eventually need to modify the /etc/yum.repos.d/winehq.repo to match the new version. Otherwise it will stay with the version listed in repo file. But is always best to do a backup of things just in case. Does take a while to run, so make sure you have good power or good ups. Downloading part is not a problem, since it can be redone, but once you do reboot to actually do the upgrade that will not handle a shutdown or loose of power. +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
