I wouldnt do it. Backup any data you want to keep and do a clean install of fedora. There is too big a gap between rh 7.1 and fedora. Lots of things will break.

That's not a great idea either. It's simply not supported and although it can be done it really is easier to reinstall.
The redhat (& fedora) installer gets better with each version. It depends on whether its an important server you are upgrading. I have done an upgrade from RH 9 to FC without any problems - that isnt to say you wont have any if you try. Whatever you decide, remeber to backup.

Owen,
How did you upgrade from RH9 to Fedora? Can it work like Windows OS upgrade where you just insert the CD and select upgrade or can i do it using yum?
