Install+Upgrade or wait for FC2?
I've downloaded FC2T3 and wondering if I should install now then upgrade or just wait for FC2. I'm familiar with using fedora currently using gentoo but want to come back to fedora. Just tryin to find out which is the better path.

I think fresh install from Release ISO's will be the best. Many things changed since Test3 ISO date April21th, 2004.

clean install is nice, just make sure you backup your config files if you dont want to mindle a lot on changing them back.

I've got my /home mounted on a seperate partition so I shouldn't lose any files even if i do a clean install.

Don't install the test release. Wait for Core 2 or install Core 1 and then upgrade when core 2 is released.
Upgrading from a test release to a stable core isn't supposed work, that doesn't mean it won't, but I wouldn't do it.

A seperate /home partition is not a bad idea. I used that setup myself when I installed core 1 back when it was first released. Having a seperate /home partition is not needed, or even useful in most cases, but if you sometimes do some experimenting, like using test releases, it's very handy.
