What's the difference? Couldn't I just keep FC5 and not go to FC6, for

Is there any downside to using CentOS (except for the latest and
greatest) for audio and video work? Do you use it? If so, why and
what's your experience?

every time there is a new Fedora Core, I usually
get around to moving to
the next version. However, for me, it's a bit of a pain to do because
you really have to wipe the disc and start all over.. ."upgrading"
Fedora doesn't really work well. At least for me it doesn't.
Don't you find this a bit irritating? I do. It's not hard, it just seems
unnecessary.
Are other distros better at upgrading but also provide all of the nice
features that Fedora does? (there are a lot of audio apps available in
rpm for Fedora. I just can't spend my time compiling each and every one
when updates come along.)
What do others do?
Why not use CentOS or another such variation on FC? FC is destined to always
be latest and greatest, so it comes with the territory.
