Nathan, in my humble opinion a fresh install is always better if you are
upgrading from a version several releases old AND you are able to backup
your data to a location you are absolutely sure you can restore it from.
That being said I 'upgraded' from RH8 to FC2 without much difficulty.
The only thing to remember is that FC2 uses xorg's X. Also you could run
into problems with the 2.6 kernel. I struck several. But I am very happy
with my FC2 install all things considered.
