I don't recall that I had any problems upgrading from CentOS 5 to 6. > I followed the simple advice given, and it worked exactly as stated. only by luck and only if you use a very very limited set of packages in your setup RHEL 5 is based on Fedora 6 RHEL 6 is based on Fedora 12/13 so you jump from F6 to F12, nobody supports this with RHEL7 this will be impossible because RHEL7 will be based on F18-F20 and make all this switches with one release: * sysvinit -> systemd * grub -> grub2 * UsrMove > 3. I looked at the two document mentioned about upgrading Fedora: > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum#Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum_directly > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedUp#How_Can_I_Upgrade_My_System_with_FedUp.3F > > I found both of them rather confusing, and difficult to follow what is difficult in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum#Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum_directly there is a idiot-proof 1-2-3-4 instruction for each specific jump well, you need to understand what the changes between releases are dooing to understand the steps and why the order matters, but if you are not willing to learn this things and can not upgrade a Fedora installation you have two choices left * re-install from scratch * choose a distribution which fits your ability to flollow
