I have upgraded from RH8 -> RH9 -> FC1 -> FC2 all online without
installing from scratch.  In each case all I did was edit sources.list
to point to the new repository and let a "apt-get dist-upgrade" do it's
stuff.   As Steve said some of the packages needed some help to force
the upgrade.  Usually the upgrade will get stuck on one or two packages
then there is a little bit of work to track the dependencies back,
remove and reinstall "problem" package and kick it off again.  

The RH8 to RH9 was the most painful upgrade.  FC1 -> FC2 was really
quite painless.  Shows how the packages in general are maturing.  Also
for the record, the planet packages were the least troublesome.

Lastly my $0.02: As a current FC2 user, if you are doing audio work stay
on FC1 for the time being.

Cheers,
Andrew
