I'd seen the notice, but I'd forgotten that I mentioned the old date in this post! I have 2 Fedora boxes, one at home and one at work. The work box I tend to update more quickly, since most of the data I deal with is on one server or another, and I can usually work from my Windows box while it's upgrading. At home I have to wait for a weekend when I'm going to be around all day, and won't need to use the computer. I've been <em>very</em> happy with Fedora 8 on my work box, and the main reason I waited so long to upgrade my home system was that I'd been toying with the idea of upgrading the hardware...in which case I'd want to go 64-bit, and would have to do a fresh install. When I decided to postpone that, I took the first opportunity to bring the OS up to date. Even then, it took a few weeks to find the time. Thanks for reminding me of the release date change.

I seem to only catch their odd releases (5,7, and I'm waiting for 9). I think the problem is the even ones release in the winter when I am neck deep in school work and don't want to put the time in to update a computer, where as the odd ones come out around the summer when I have more time.
