Went from Red hat 7.3 -> RH 9 by putting red hat 9 on a old hard disk, 
preserving 7.3
Thank god I did!.

I saw the bluecurve interface and all I can say is that it looks like a 
cartoon.
I'm sure its all very nice under the hood, but I didn't stick around.
I'm staying with 7.3, if it ain't broke.....

Having said that I like the idea of recompiling everything & having 
every package optimized
for my athlon sounds nice, so I may switch to gentoo or something..
