\"fedora-penguin\"<\/a>It’s always a good day when a new Fedora Linux gets released. Today was Fedora 23. There was no real rush to upgrade… we were already on kernel version 4.2 and in all but one case, everything was working well and smoothly.<\/p>\n

The one exception was a fedora 21 installation that absolutely would not upgrade to version 22. It would get midway through the process, and reboot back into 21. Very frustrating the last 6 months or so.<\/p>\n

The goal now was to skip 22 and upgrade directly to 23. But first, an upgrade on a couple of noncritical systems first, just to test out the process and learn what to expect.<\/p>\n

[root@Sxx]# fedup –network 23
\n fedup has been replaced by ‘dnf system-upgrade’. Use that instead.
