I realize a fresh install, maybe to fc-8 would be the best route but I don't want to recreate all my preferences et-all if at all possible. My desktop machine is also a bit dated and imagine upgrading to a newer model in the short future. I can add another drive and dual boot if necessary and transfer data from one distro to another.

I'd recommend looking into rsnapshot if you have another drive handy...
just backup /home and install. Or just don't reformat /home but I'm not
sure if you can do that if /home is on the same LVM partition as the
rest of the system?
