the line.

I'm curious, why the rush for FC7? Are the bits you have from FC6 going
stale?

Here's one example why -- and it's not exactly a "rush," as you'll see.

I will be upgrading several machines (six or eight), of which at least
one has no DVD drive. That means downloading and burning a stack of media
-- a job I'm not good at. It can easily cost me a day, even with
bittorrent, to have sufficient *working* media.

The upgrades, with testing after each, and then scp-ing all my tweaks if
I do a fresh install, also take a while -- especially the one that'll
require swapping out a lot of CDs.

Getting used to all the new stuff, while fascinating, is sure to take
another while -- even if I hold off a week or so for others of greater
competence to find and fix trivia.

Yet I also have a life. I don't want to schedule a day or three of other
things, including promises to friends, just when I can expect to be
busiest here; nor vice-versa.

So I'm not in a hurry; but I do want to know, the further ahead the
better, when the changeover is apt to come.
