Upgraded to Fedora 17 "Beefy Miracle" in-place on the same image I've had since Redhat 6.2.  It was a little more challenging than some upgrades due to moving everything into /usr, but overall it's working well.

And the origin of the name is pretty interesting, check it out:

Could either of you recommend someone associated with the Fedora cvs->git transition that can talk to the Apache folks? There's so much drama going on over there regarding git and their infra people are moving way slow...

Check out Fedora 16 if you're into Linux distros. I just finished upgrading the home server last night and it's running smooth. (even if systemctl reminds me way too much of solaris SMF)

Fun fact: I've been upgrading the same system image since Red Hat 6.0. No reinstalls.. and since I never had a CD/dvd all upgrades were via rpm/yum.

Memcached 1.4.10 is now out and this release looks to be the best yet. Check out the release notes and send some kudos over to http://dormando.me/ (Hey Dormando, get on G+ already!)

To do my part I just built the fedora RPMs for f15/f16/rawhide. Try it out on your favorite high-volume server.
