    Network install works fine as well. We have done Redhat 8 9 and fedora 1 2
    3 upgrades on remote machines with serial-console or ipmi remote
    management cards, it does require some advance planning.

    Upgrading between major versions by hand is ill-advised as the installer,
    especially for 2 has to work some magic with things like lvm.

    I don't find switching between major versions of fedora quite as elegant
    as on debian or a freebsd install, but I've also screwed myself going from
    freebsd 4.10 to 5.2 as well, so it's not like it becomes trivial if you
    choose to run freebsd.

    I think the original person who posed the question can be reasonably well
    assured that there are people providing real services, in production
    quality requirements on Fedora Core.
