Preparing my system for upgrade to FC4

[Jon Moss]

As soon as I can find a mirror to download the ISO
images, I'll upgrade my spare FC3 workstation. 

I do, however, have a production server using FC2. 

Any gotchas upgrading from FC2 to FC4? 

Or should I upgrade from FC2 to FC3 and then proceed
to FC4? 

Thanks!

Jon Moss
