RedHat Linux distributions have always been designed to be upgradeable;

the upgrade. This is the way least likely to result in problems.
Upgrading via yum/apt may also work, yum will not work without major effort.
but YMMV; anaconda is coded with
knowledge of things that need to be done (e.g. on FC4 it will remove the
i386 version of perl on x86_64 installs), information that isn't
available to yum or apt.
Well, that's what I call broked design.
