Network install works fine as well. We have done Redhat 8 9 and fedora 1 2 
3 upgrades on remote machines with serial-console or ipmi remote 
management cards, it does require some advance planning.

Upgrading between major versions by hand is ill-advised as the installer, 
especially for 2 has to work some magic with things like lvm.

I don't find switching between major versions of fedora quite as elegant 
as on debian or a freebsd install, but I've also screwed myself going from 
freebsd 4.10 to 5.2 as well, so it's not like it becomes trivial if you 
choose to run freebsd.

I think the original person who posed the question can be reasonably well 
assured that there are people providing real services, in production 
quality requirements on Fedora Core.
