If this is a remotely hosted box you will probably be better staying with
FC2 as long as it is supported unless there is some compelling reason for
an upgrade. If you just need a more recent version of some specific
application, you can build that one application from source which will
be safer than attempting an upgrade with respect to hosing the machine.
