apt-rpm dist-upgrade

[Joseph Tate]

I've done this transition incrementally using yum, but not apt-get.  (I 
never have understood why people who like apt-get so much don't just use 
debian.)

Upgrade 7.3 to 8, then to 9, then to FC 1.  Set aside a day or so 
though.  It's certainly much faster to upgrade using your favorite 
boot.iso/cd/nfs/ftp/http process.  Too bad you can't run anaconda 
remotely.  Using the cd you shouldn't have to upgrade incrementally.
