Apparently F19 downloaded 160 megs of packages in the background without even asking me. Installed them via Yumex GUI (because add/remove software is idiotic) and now their stoopid nagware insists I still need to install updates and restart. :mad:

Free as in free to get a frontal lobotomy so you can use the new version. :p

I find this an interesting comment. I've never had any trouble with maintaining a /home partition over new installations of fedora. To avoid the incompatibility mentioned above, before I install, I delete all the relevant configuration files in /home, which means removing all of the relevant dotfiles. The new installation recreates them all in the new versions. With programs that don't actually change much like my window manager, I keep my configurations ... same with my Xdefaults. But for browsers and desktop stuff and other programs, it all gets nicely recreated. The great advantage of maintaining a /home partition is that you don't have to copy your data off and back with each installation ... just copy off for backups.
