Hi,

I just did one of these RH9 -> FC3 upgrades a week ago.  It worked 
pretty well.  It messed up my bind config files and there were some 
other fiddling things I had to fix manually, but it came out pretty 
well.  Get ready to apply a *huge* pile of updates to the FC3 after the 
upgrade.  That part took *much* longer than the upgrade itself, even 
over a 512kbit connection.
