serv) ?

Thanks in advice!

I would expect a migration similar to that described under "Migration
from RHEL5 to CentOS5" on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/MigrationGuide
to work.  One difference would be that some FC6 packages are likely to
be newer than the corresponding CentOS packages.  The upcoming 5.2
release should help in this respect.

Please report results and consider adding to the Wiki MigrationGuide
page if successful.

You could try a remote anaconda upgrade using vnc.

Something like this;

but with adjustments.
You would still need to look for orphans, and the usual things.

Maybe if you backed up configs and data files and removed as many packages as 
you could to minimize the hassle. Even though RHEL5 is based on Fedora 6, I 
think the package freeze was about mid-cycle, and Fedora kept evolving after 
the freeze.
