Judging by a few other posts in this forum, I would say that a few people have done this on there linode. After a little help from goggle i found quite a bit of info on doing this.
For example:

http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/Upgrad … h_yum.html">http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/UpgradingRedHatLinuxwith_yum.html
So, have people done this on there linode, and did they run into any problems?
Thanks
