And take this opportunity to restructure your system so that upgrades'll
be easy.  As I keep preaching, if all your data and custom software live
on a separate filesystem, and you scrupulously back up /etc, you can mix
and match not only Red Hat versions, but Linux distributions or even
operating systems without much hassle. And, as I also keep preaching, if
you _can't_ do this, you're at the mercy of vendor's whims.

Good luck ... -d
