I am still using FC1 and waiting until FC3 to change.  I thought FC2 
came out to early.

 From reading the posts here, I would do a clean install.  There are 
so many changes that there could be alot of weird conflicts after the 
upgrade.  My experience is from moving to FC1 from RH8.  I spent over 
a month fixing little problems and errors due to the upgrade.

I would worry about applications that won't work on FC3 that work in 
FC1 due to kernel changes that don't get upgraded.  I want a full fall 
back if there is a problem.

At the cost of HD's, I will double my storage.  I can always use more 
HD space.
