I went through pure hell trying to upgrade my Fedora 16 server to 17, then 18. There were no video drivers for the onboard video, and I simply had no desire to buy a video card so that I could run a hobby server that I VNC into when at work.
The whole thing became a hideous debacle. I finally punted and switched to Ubuntu. Apart from some fairly opaque instructions on how to install the VPN (which doesn't work from work anyway) and VNC, and the effort to deter you from SUing, it's been very good.
