I had very few problems upgrading from FC3 to FC4. Quite the painless upgrade with yum and/or apt (I'm using apt less and less lately, due to the lack of multi-arch support). A slightly more painful, but also doable upgrade, was RH9 to FC4, which I successfully pulled off using a combo of apt and yum, just a few weeks ago (for work-related purposes). -- Jarod Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
