My web server is the same. But I have no magic php/ Java/ MySQL/ CGI/ etc stuff and only bring up up for friends and family. Mail worked... but my mail config is SIMPLE and I pre tested it on another FC1 box first. FTP is likely different (there are choices for ftp) but setting up simple FTP stuff is not a big bother. April is a ways away. Start building a list of "all the settings" and find a cast off old box to test on. Shop for a sale on a new disk. You may be able to keep your RH9 disk as a fall back and upgrade on a new disk. I saw a 120GB disk for $58. after rebate today. Something ALWAYS breaks....
