I just upgraded a Fedora Core (FC) 19 workstation to
FC20 a week ago. It was an old Pentium 4 computer
I use at the customer's site.
I used a utility from a Fedora project called Fed Up:

It took about an hour. (You have to make sure FC19 is
all updates before it will work).
SHOULD ALL UPDATES GO SO SMOOTHLY! Fed Up hit it
out of the ball park.
Does anyone know if SL6 to SL7 will be as seamless?
Or, are we looking at a full wipe and reinstall?
I have asked Fed Up if we can have a Fed Up for RHEL
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1060359
So, far so, good. I have not heard a deafening *NO*
out of them yet.
FedUp is being developed for RHEL 7:
https://github.com/dashea/redhat-upgrade-tool
It's also packaged in RHEL 7 as redhat-upgrade-tool.
RH has announced that it'll support in-place upgrades:
http://www.redhat.com/about/news/archive/2013/12/red-hat-announces-availability-of-red-hat-enterprise-linux-7-beta
So you have to wait for redhat-upgrade-tool to be packaged for RHEL/SL 6...
Hi Tom,
Very cool! I hate having to wipe and reinstall.
The one thing I noticed about Fed Up, was that you
had to do a "yum upgrade" before running Fed Up,
or you got a bunch of key errors.
