[Leaplist] Upgrade from Fedora 9 to 11 (or to CentOS 5.3) ....

[William A. Mahaffey III]

.... I am interested in upgrading this box (2 GHz Athlon 64X2, 2 GB RAM, 
desktop) from Fedora 9 64-bit (fully patched up as of last Sunday) to 
either Fedora 11 or CentOS 5.3. I found mention of the PreUpgrade 
package which is installed (preupgrade.noarch, 1.1.0-1.fc9, installed). 
I did a bit of googling (Fedora preupgrade CentOS) & got conflicting 
views on upgrading more than 1 version (1 link definitively said you 
could go from FC9 to FC11 using preupgrade, & linked to RH website for 
backup) & on going from FC9 to CentOS 5.3. Does anybody have any 1st 
hand experience w/ using preupgrade to do upgrades of more than 1 
version or for changing from Fedora to CentOS ? If so, could you comment 
yea or nay on this idea :-) ? Thanks in advance.
