To add my 2 cents,.....I have both Ubuntu and Fedora on two separate 
machines,the Ubuntu box is more for "dabbling" around with different 
apps and the like,....while I've always used my Fedora machine for 
"_work_".....(creating spreadsheets for inventory of PC's laptops and 
hardware for the company I work for....using LibreOffice, and responding 
to HelpDesk tickets that I forward to myself from work to Thunderbird / 
GMail at home!) And while I STILL haven't upgraded to 18 as yet I 
eventually will......I'm just terribly afraid of losing a lot....and 
since I'm not conversant enough with the command line to "restore" my 
DejaDup Backups....I'm pretty much stuck for the moment until I know 18 
is a little more stable...as for people "jumping ship" even though a few 
of the releases might have had a lot of bugs...I don't think I'll be 
leaving Fedora just yet...LoL! I will wait to see if things smooth out 
by like...19...maybe 20....
