For me it will be finished when F14 Alpha boots on one of my machines

@ovadyah:
I was totally surprised when F14 booted on Feb. 28 with kernel 2.6.34-0.4.rc0.git2.fc14.x86_64. The first time an F13 live CD booted for me was Feb. 13. You might want to give F14 a spin, I've only had to pull initscripts and gnome-shell from koji so far.

Is there something in particular that you're looking forward to F13?

I'm new to this Linux thing, I'm still on F10..... I don't understand what's up with the frequent updates.

Fedora is a testing Distro for redhat so there gonna push updates out a lot to fix issues in technology that went intoa Distro,. you should be on Mint or do a Minimal install if you dont like all the updates, but F10 has gone EOL - End of life so there shouldnt be any updates on F10 no more.

One of the motos of the Linux world is patch fast and patch often. If every one does that then Linux is much less of a target for people with evil intent. I remember when the first worm that Linux was vulnerable to got out in the wild. Slammer if I remember right. A few of us were hoping to be able to dig in and find out how it worked when we got bit. Unfortunately they patched the problem the same day and every one updated fast. Slammer died out almost instantly. No malware software subscription needed. We had to go digging for the code for slammer on line because we couldn't catch our own. Why spend 3 months writing a brilliant worm or virus if it can be killed off in a day?

If you are new and learning you can have an old Fedora to use as a stable system and dual boot the f13 alpha.

The trick is to follow the formal Fedora lists and chatter, otherwise you will not know what is coming at you.

The f14 early brach is something new. Many on that will be surprised later when it turns into a boiling pot of bloody fur. It works now because it is still a lot of f13 and not so much new feature stuff.

Stick with either f13 branched to follow alpha and get updated by the fedora-release package to switch to beta,
This will get you only updates that are under the eyeballs of the release engineers to make f13 work when released.

Or just do f13 and it works somewhat like the old rawhide, fedora repo and updates-testing.

When f13 is released, f14 will be branched from rawhide and become just like f13 is now.
Rawhide will become f15. Rawhide will never go pass an pre-alpha status.
