I have had great luck with apt-get upgrades from older versions of Red Hat. Usually I have done this from RH9, but one server was upgraded all the way from RH 7.2.
Install apt for your version of Redhat, then install synaptic. Take it slowly, one version upgrade at a time. Apply all the updates, then go to the next version. If you don't rush it, things generally go pretty well.
