With Windows Vista nearing its first release candidate in preparation for a final launch early next year, Microsoft is providing more details about possible upgrade paths. Of note: Windows 2000 cannot be upgraded to Vista. While Windows 2000 Professional customers may purchase a cheaper "upgrade" copy of Microsoft next-generation operating system, Windows Vista must be "clean installed", which means users will need to back up their files and data manually and then copy everything into place. Applications will also need to be re-installed.

Never had any problems using Anaconda to upgrade my Red Had/Fedora installations back a few years ago. But I haven't used fedora in over a year so I'm not sure if it still works.
Debian is another distro famous for it's ease of upgrade(easier than Fedora)
Ubuntu can be upgraded but I prefer to install it clean(keep my /home folder in a diferent partition so my settings stay the same)
