I too am thinking of upgrading. I am using Fedora Core 1. I use over the 
network, running X on my local machine and then logging in with ssh -X. 
I use the tools like gimp and sodipodi which need later versions of 
certain libraries to be upgraded. What is the best approach for me? I 
have downloaded the FC 3 cds but since I cannot access the installation 
GUI (can't login over the network at boot time,) what approach shoud use?

Should I just upgrade the kernel and use apt-get to update various 
libraries needed or does one need to re-install the entire operating 
system from scratch?

Thanks very much,
