I have run up2date on a couple of remote machines and upgraded from 7.1 
to 7.3 and 7.3 to 8.0  These worked okay with a bit of messing about.  
You have to tell up2date that it is running on a later OS.  The console 
based config allows you to do this.

You can upgrade individual packages and it will arrange the 
dependencies, or you could run the whole lot.  You might also like to 
think about the problems you may have later when RH stop providing bug 
fixes for 6.2 and 7.1 which I think is soonish.

Kind regards
Xander
