CENTOS HAS NO DIST-UPGRADES AT ALL
No 5.1 to 5.2 is NOT at dist-upgrade
1. CentOS has "minor upgrades" at more or less the same frequency
that Fedora has "major upgrades",
so to the user they are more or less the same.
2. I don't recall that I had any problems upgrading from CentOS 5 to 6.
I followed the simple advice given, and it worked exactly as stated.
3. I looked at the two document mentioned about upgrading Fedora:
<
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum#Upgrading_Fedor...;,
<
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedUp#How_Can_I_Upgrade_My_System_with_Fed...
I found both of them rather confusing, and difficult to follow.
