Hiya, just wondering how easy this would be, I'm guessing through yum, but is there a preferable process from updating from fed core 3 to centos ideally keeping settings as is? (desktop rather than server, just want to migrate to centos, nothing too essential apart from raw data).

By "settings" do you mean server? Or user?
If server, you're going to have issues because CentOS is a _subset_ of Fedora Core, and you're going to be playing "dependency hell" as various packages installed have all sorts of issues with the lack of required packages. And if you throw "--force," well, have a nice life. ;->
If you mean user, then just copy over /home. Ideally you should be NFS or otherwise mounting it from a server anyway.

Don't try it. Some of the packages in CentOS are newer than in Fedora, some are older, and some don't exist at all. It's a maintenance nightmare.
Clean install is your friend. Take a safe backup of /etc and anything else you know that is needed. After installation your previous (FC) configuration files should be restored. You stand 99% chance that they are going to work. You will be ready in more or less 3 - 4 hours at most Have fun
Hiya, thanks a lot for the replies.
