Greetings!  Concerning updating Fedora, I've done it using yum from version
8 to 9 and from 9 to 10.

You could also try Arch linux. Its up to date and a rolling release. So you
would update the machine with one command through pacman. You have to do
some configurations so its not for those who want a distro that just works.
Fedora works good as well. there is a way to update the entire system say
for example from fedora10 to fedora11. I'm not sure how well it works though
as I'm currently using arch linux.
