Hello linux-audio-users
I'm not using (unfortunately) any Linuz now but
I'm planning to install Fedora. But we are close to the scheduled
release of F5. As I am total novice in those, here are my questions:
Is it nescessary to blow up everything when upgrading Fedora versions?
Do I need to install configure everything again?

Best regards,

Hi
No Just do an upgrade from the CD you burn.
It will give you the choice when you load the CD.
cheers

in my experience, that
doesn't work too well. I've always had to backup
and install fresh.
Hope it works for you!

I've got to second that. I generally keep all of my data and home

I wouldn't jump on the FC5 bandwagon just yet. You'll find that
audio apps will run more reliably on the older versions. I'm on FC4
right now and that's as far as I'm going for a couple of years (I hope).

You don't have to. The installer gives you the option of upgrading the
existing OS.
However, it is perhaps best to backup the data then reinstall from
scratch, as a way to get rid of the entropy that inevitably accumulates
in the system.
