Upgrading an older Fedora to CentOS is fairly painless.  You *might*
just be able to do the upgrade from the CD/DVD.  If not, remove the
fedora-release package ("rpm -e fedora-release --nodeps") and replace it
with the centos-release package first, then try the upgrade from CD/DVD.
(I've done it before with yum.)

With the EPEL repo (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) getting closer
to being complete, running CentOS 5 + EPEL 5 isn't much different than
running Fedora Core/Extras 6.
