I had two problems that were caused by my wanting to stay on the bleeding edge so two packages (openssh 3.7.1p2 & wlan-ng) needed more attention than normal. If you are running a stock RH9, then I would say that your experience will be excellent. I had fewer problems upgrading RH9 to Fedora, than I had upgrading RH8 to RH9. RH7 to RH8 was a &*(^$#$# mess. My configuration files were not affected. When I run fedora, it looks just like RH9. Oh sure, the icons have changed a tiny bit, but the menus, background picture, look and feel are the same. Read the release notes. Stay away from the monkey (ximian packages). Also, I've found the responses to questions on this list to be quick and accurate.
