Fedora 10 hit the net today with its General Availability Release, or rather the un-beta version.  I posted earlier this summer that the version 9 release passed me by as I noted its two month anniversary.  There's plenty of resources out there for the first timer, but I wanted to write about the handy yum upgrade process for those of us who can't afford a clean wipe every six months when the Fedora Project releases its official versions.

This week I am tackling a conversion from my outdated server, currently running FC4, to new hardware which is now running CentOS 5.  So no big deal right?  I have certainly been dreading the move, because of all the fun I've had installing osprey/permaseed in the past.  I am happy to say that the conversion WAS in fact NO BIG DEAL.  Here' s what I did in case anyone else ever needs some advice on the process.
