I just did two upgradation mostly successfully and figured I should list
my experiences here.
Do you see any oddities with your desktop? I once did a yum upgrade
from one version of FC to another (can't remember which versions), and
Gnome had a nervous twitch until I reinstalled fresh.
I would like to do an upgrade from FC4 to FC5, but I'm hesitant because
of my past experience with it. Doing a full install will take time, and
I just don't have much of that these days.

Hi Kanwar,
Everything seemed as it was before. I used the upgraded FC5 for a day
and did not notice any difference ata ll. But the next day I removed all
older gnome and kde config files and started a new. This was not due to
any problem, note it. It was just a cleanup I did ... for no urgent reason.
Note that I wasn't using any dag or livna repositories, not sure if this
matters, just wanted to clarify that.
I would say if you have a recent kernel and removed all older ones and
did rpm --rebuilddb and have enough disk space and have a reasonably
fast internet connection, you should be all okay for the upgrade via yum.
I must admit I was surprised by yum's performance. It still doesn't
compare with apt, but it is a huge improvement over rpm or yum of FC2
FC3 days.
