Yeah, that was my plan all along, to use screen that is, I was just wanting to see if others have done similar upgrades recently and what their experiences have been.  Thanks, all!

What's the status on being able to upgrade a server via SSH?  I've upgraded
a couple of Ubuntu servers that way, but how about Fedora? This is a pretty
plain server, just used for storing data. No third party repos, etc.

Is it considered moderately safe? Or should I avoid like the plague?

I'd recommend using screen in your ssh session in case the ssh session gets nuked during the upgrade. It reduces the chance you'll need to do a big clean up.
