the normal upgrade process, it looks like I'm going to have to do an

Who's done it and what were your experiences? I am planning to do mine
on an Samsung netbook that's not quite a year old. It's got plenty of
RAM and drive space and it runs F16 really well.

It works. I updated four systems. Two Dell laptops (different models),
a Lenovo ThinkPad and an eMachines desktop. I followed the process
documented on the Fedora Project page:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum
There's a specific section on F16 to F17. Note for example the dracut
stuff.
