Nah, I won't be installing it. If you use gentoo there is no need for these "omg new release", it after all seamlessly upgrades between versions.

I'll definitely upgrade. I'm using FC5 as my main desktop at the moment and I'll probably wait a week or two before making the move over to FC6.
Now that my /home is on a different partition that will be a lot easier :)

I'm always willing to try another distro if it's worth it.
What are the new features of FC6?

hmm FC6 release delayed a few days
see below:
