Hmmmmmmmm....... a very old version of Fedora.

When a new version comes out I upgrade to the latest using yum - likewise with openSUSE, Ubuntu and Ubuntu ARM. I crawl from one version to the next and only do a fresh install if I upgrade HD's.

Problem comes when new code requires something that is a level or several higher than you have installed - upgrade beyond one or 2 versions probably doesn't work and you are forced to do a fresh install then all the other packages required after that, plus fresh setups.

You get changes like systemd replacing sysvinit which is seamless if you are one or 2 levels back. With a fresh install there are many new things you are presented with suddenly, more to deal with when you are trying to get up and working.
73 ... Sid.
