After getting another reminder email from Red Hat telling me errata support for Red Hat 9.0 would end on the 30th of April, I got together with John to upgrade my home server.

John brought round his supersmall mini-ITX computer, which is really lovely. Once my moblog scripts are working again tonight, I'll be able to post a picture of it. Over the years, I'd accumulated a LOT of unneeded files, so I took the opportunity to spring clean over 14GB out. It then took about three hours over a fast 100Mb connection to dump all my MP3s and files off lofi.

The Fedora install itself was going to be an upgrade, but there were a few niggling things with the file system setup that required a disk format, so we opted for a clean install via FTP from John's box.

So far, I'm liking Fedora. I'm now using the GNOME desktop instead of KDE and liking that difference too. Everything feels a bit more polished and smoother than with RH9, even though the difference is probably actually tiny. lofi even feels a little bit faster, too. :-)
