Probably better to wait for FC6 unless of course you just want a new
install. I assume since you haven't upgraded you can wait, maybe only
install even numbered releases. I install only odd numbered releases.

The FC6 release is still some months away and newbies should avoid
the test releases as they are most unstable.

BTW, there is no rationale I know of for selecting even/odd release
numbers. At one time, this made sense for the Linux kernel itself
but no longer.
