To my memory, with the pre-Fedora Red Hat, upgrading was great if you didn't do anything outside what RedHat thought the "average user" would do. But, more often than not, you'd get a broken mess when "upgrading". I found that re-install was the better option for production systems.

No thanks Posted Mar 16, 2005 2:23 UTC (Wed) by vonbrand (subscriber, #4458) [Link] I upgraded several Red Hat machines (particularly our servers) over the years without too much trouble. Most problems were due to partitions that were too small for the new packages, or messed up packages (stuff installed over packages from sources, things moved to strange places, ...)
No thanks Posted Mar 16, 2005 4:15 UTC (Wed) by loening (guest, #174) [Link] I've got a box that's gone Redhat 8 -> Fedora Core 2 -> Fedora Core 3 that I haven't physically seen since it was running Redhat 8. I don't recall ever having to fix anything because of the upgrade process. And it runs a web server and samba, so it's more than just a token box. Upgrading with yum definitely does the job.
