FC5 -> FC6 Upgrade/Update

[Ashley M. Kirchner]

    I have several machines that are running FC5, configured as 
servers.  They don't have X on them (but might have some X libraries 
installed for the likes of ImageMagick.)  These machines are text only 
and have almost 99.9% of everything stock with rpm updates on them.  The 
occasional source installations are pretty minimal (sendmail, apache, 
php, and binaries rpm updates of mysql.)

    So, how safe am I running an FC6 install and let it UPGRADE the 
machine as opposed to doing a clean install, which I would prefer to 
skip since these are production machines that need to remain running 
with minimal disruptions.

    (My other option is to use a spare machine with FC6, transfer 
everything from the old to the new, swap cables and put the spare one 
on-line, then do a clean install on the actual server, move everything 
back and bring it back online.  Something I'd rather not do.)
