It is not going well. FC3 is up but that's it at the moment. Fortunatly, this is a 2nd frontend I'm experimenting on, not my main backend+frontend. I did the Fedora upgrade because I'm using LVM and there are strong warnings about not using apt if you've got a LVM. I found that after the FC3 upgrade finished the machine wouldn't boot. It hung on calculating kernel parameters. The fix to this (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/history/277212) is to boot and type <a> when you select the kernel, edit the boot line and remove rhgb. There is a note that after booting: sh NVIDIA*.run maybe edit xorg.conf /sbin/modprobe nvidia cp -a /dev/nvidia* /etc/udev/devices chown root.root /etc/udev/devices/nvidia* will resolve the problem. I haven't tried this yet so X isn't up at the moment. After the Fedora upgrade I downloaded atrpms-kickstart. This required removing a couple of fc1 packages (medley-package-config) and yum as they depend on the apt sources file. The apt sources file from atrmps-kickstart contained a reference to ayo.freshrpms.net. This was broken so I changed it to freshrpms.pingo.org. This let apt-get update run. apt-get dist-upgrade requires -f due to some broken dependencies and even with -f it doesn't run.
