Yum upgrade -- is this page accurate?

[adsmith]

After a brief seach on this forum, I've only found yum upgrade comments amounting to "you can use apt, see the article" or "use a CD".

However, I ran across this page:
http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/Upgrading_Red_Hat_Linux_with_yum.html
which basically says (1) replace yum.conf repositories and (2) install new fedora-release package.

Has anyone here tested this?

Yum works just fine though it depends which distro you are upgrading to and from.

7.2 --> FC1 takes a lot of work

whereas

9 --> FC1 goes without a hitch
