(honestly these systems seem more suited for a platform with less frequent releases, like RHEL or CentOS). Upgrading with yum is mostly OK, there are a few gotchas regarding some changes that have gone into the kernel. Upgrading from i386 to x86_64 is going to be a MUCH more difficult task. I'm jut not sure what you're looking for out of FESCO on this. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
