Fedora 10 upgrade



This post is from a upgraded Fedora 10 box. How good this upgrade is will become more clear with time. For now things seem to be working pretty well.

An incident free upgrade , the boot loader is now graphical, I am not sure if I like it , I was more comfortable when the system used to spit its gut out with all the messages. it kinds of tells you what works and what doesnt.

It didnt break anything, It identified all the hardware correctly. All the codecs which installed in FC9 are still available.

Fedora 10 download



The last time when I upgraded to Fedora 9 , I experimented with the preupgrade utility they had and after all the downloads, when the upgrade actually started , power went of , leaving my partitions corrupted. Then I had to again download the DVD torrent and do a clean install.

This time around with Fedora 10 I dont see , dont want to use also the preupgrade thing, so downloading the torrent , just checkout the number od seeders and leechers on that torrent thats the power of the community , I intend to seed this torrent for as long as I can .

At these speeds the download is expected to complete by Saturday, anyways from Monday onwards I would be blogging from Fedora 10 :)
