Why go to 2.2

Ok,here's a question for everyone.
Why should I upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2? Right now, everything I want is
working. I am actually seriously contemplating moving from OS X to
YDL. It is SO much faster for me, at least mentally, as long as I don't
launch Mozilla, dog slow, prefer Opera actually.
Anyway, right now I have Ximain Gnome running w/ Window Maker, Airport,
and everything works, except Sawfish, but that's ok. I've seen post
saying that Ximian doesn't work w/ 2.2, and to not force it unless you
know what you're doing. Frankly, I'm completely confused by the RPM
thing, so I don't know how to force it as others have done. I love
Ximian, and Evolution in particular, wow that software is great!
The only thing I've seen, is that KDE is upgraded, which I don't use,
and I can change the filesystem to ext3, which would be nice, but all I
need to do is upgrade yaboot to do that right? I couldn't find any
compelling reasons to move to 2.2, especially because it doesn't work
for me. Not even X works straight from the install, complains about it
can't find the font 'fixed'.
Separate question, where is a good place to find info on the RPM
system? I'm still used to double-click and install. I realize what it
does, just not how it's done.
Thanks,
Nathan
