David,
Just a couple of points to watch out for. Pick upgrade, rather
them picking server install, as some have done. Doing a server install
will wipe all your data...
Remember that the box will come up with most services diabled.
Check the config files before enabling the services. Look for .rpmsave
or .rpmnew files where the config file format has changes or new
features have been added.
Last, but most importatant, make sure you hav ethe latest
updates installed BEFORE starting any services.
