[GTALUG] Experience Upgrading From Fedora 24 to Fedora 25

[Clive DaSilva]

I have always had the same positive experience with the Fedora upgrades as well as Linuxmint upgrades. On reading Clifford's experience, I took the plunge as well and it worked great. Took longer on my 32bit box with dual core Intel cpu and 3 gigs of ram along with a lot of stuff to upgrade e.g. my Hadoop account, Python stuff. This is not the first time that I have used this approach and it always worked really well for me.

Subject: [GTALUG] Experience Upgrading From Fedora 24 to Fedora 25

Hello All,

I've been using Fedora for a few years on my primary workstation, though 
I use Debian (stable) for servers. Whenever Fedora released a new major 
version, I'd do a fresh install, which based on past experience with 
attempts to upgrade in place was the best way.

I just followed the directions here 
<https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF_system_upgrade> to upgrade from 24 
to 25. Within 20 minutes, I had a flawlessly working system. I'm very 
impressed.

Hardware specs, in case you're wondering, are as follows.

ASUS P755D with Intel i5-750 CPU, 16GB RAM

/boot, /, and swap on a 120GB Samsung 750 EVO SSD
/home on a 960GB SanDisk SSD
/data on an 8TB Western Digital Red HDD

nVidia 960GT video card (using nouveau driver)
