Install Fedora now or wait for 15

I'm playing about with the Live CD of Fedora 14 (exciting Saturday night, I know), I was just wondering how easy it is to update Fedora versions.

Should I install 14 and update then or wait until 15 is out and install then.

I'm mostly used to Ubuntu and updating that, but not really sure how Fedora does it.

Wait until 15

You could install Fedora 14, if it works fine for you then leave it at that. It should be supported for a while after the release of F15.

If your the kind of user that is interested in the latest software then maybe a rolling release distro would be a better idea? Saves the hassle of the reinstall every 6 or so months.

wait until 15 and go straight in with Gnome 3

Install 15beta and just upgrade when 15 is released, its pretty stable at the moment! having used it on my work machine now for 2 weeks. :eek:

there are some pretty big changes between 14 and 15 and learning 14 would only be a waste

Cheers guys, I'll give 15 beta a try.

I was going to use the 32bit version as I've only got 2Gigs of RAM in the PC. Is it worth using the 64bit version? Is there any other differences except being able to use more RAM?
