It's good that you are cautious since you are so far behind. IIRC, *some* folks had trouble going from 4.1->4.2 (selinux related? Don't recall now). Anyway, search the archives, if interested, around the time of that and see what advice was given. I followed that advice and had no problems.
Again, it's *IIRC* and my 2 brain cells have been penetrated so long by environmental Gigahertz emanations by now that they may be dysfunctional as well as old, cranky and intolerant. :-)

The original poster has not told us why he is still on 4.0
- ie a heavy/important production machine - physically located away ie in a datacenter 300 miles away? - modifications to the system - current updates applied or is it a vanilla 4.0? - ignoramus
I've come across (on forums/lists/net) people with machines that started life as fedora 3 and sidegraded to centOS on the advice given in a mailing list. So its important knowing the exact situation he is in.
