Is there any on-site maintenance? Were I in this situation, I'd leave the box at FC1 rather than attempting a yum or apt upgrade.
-Serverbeach server. Was originally RH9, I bumped it up to FC1 once I'd tested it at home due to RHDL being whacked.
-I live in Australia, my box is somewhere in texas I think. No go there.
-Their onsite-maint is basically "restore you to last backup/image."
-What do I do once FC1 stops updating?

I'm trying not to get livid at this revelation, but this really is a crappy thing to do to early adopters. I loved the idea of a yum/apt based RH that was constantly updating, and was amoung those who defended FC against all the unfounded FUD being spread. Now I'm being hung out to dry, whereas had I done what everyone was screaming and just gone to debian or gentoo, I'd be fine.
I know no one owes it to ME to make it work/etc, but I'm basically screwed now for supporting what I thought was a good thing.

Hopefully I'll get some other suggestions though :) Other than this my FC experience has been tip top.
