a different one, has no package-deps over the

I have longer history. On my old desktop at home I have installed
now Fedora 16 (plan upgrade) which was always only upgraded, no
reinstalls at all. And so history starts from far ~2002. Initially
it was ASPLinux [1] (Fedora Core derivation) and then cross-repo
upgrade on Fedora Core 2. After that only upgrades.<br>
<br>
I can't say what all was very smoothly and without problems. I
remember 2 times when it does not boot and I had been forced start
troubleshoot and resurrect system. But in most cases upgrade was
mostly easy. And I awaiting doing it just more easy and more robust,
not drop such really great capability from Linux world!<br>
