[Fedora-ambassadors-list] Report : Event Lan

[Gerold Kassube]

OK, ...

Chitlesh I did also the update from three maschines from FC4 to FC5 and
ok, they all failed ...
In this case you're right!

But the issue that there are'nt enough HOWTOs and descriptions are in
the web I personally NOT agree with you. From standing I'll know more
that 5 big pages where to find a lot of information about Fedora,
updating, post installation etc. etc. ...
But maybe what is important is: we don't have any summery page where to
find the most helps that's correct; but I think, the unity project
(http://fedoraunity.org/) will close this issue and help that we're
getting ONE Source ...

Gerold
