Nah, I won't be installing it. If you use gentoo there is no need for these "omg new release", it after all seamlessly upgrades between versions.

I'll definitely upgrade. I'm using FC5 as my main desktop at the moment and I'll probably wait a week or two before making the move over to FC6.

 

Now that my /home is on a different partition that will be a lot easier :)

I'm always willing to try another distro if it's worth it.

 

What are the new features of FC6?

hmm FC6 release delayed a few days

 

see below:

 

Over the weekend we ran into a few more bugs with Fedora Core 6 that we > decided were important enough to fix. There were some multilib compose

> issues (wrong packages landing in the wrong dirs), some translation files

> that would cause tracebacks in things like anaconda (whoops), and a

> fedora-release package that forgot to enable updates (double whoops). For

> these reasons and a few others, we decided to respin the release candidate

> tree and push the release date out another couple of days.

> The current plan is to spin a release candidate this evening with some last

> minute fixes, and start the sync. Validation has gone very well up to this

> point and baring any blow ups in the spin process, the release looks very

> solid. We're planning to release on Thursday Oct 19th. This should give the

> mirrors enough days to sync up. If things blow up horribly and we have to

> spin again tomorrow, depending on what time we have to respin we may slip

> until next week, as releasing on Fridays or Mondays gets you the wrath of the

> mirror admins (:
