I have not done it myself, but I would not recommend it because its likely to be very problematic. Redhat 9 is really old and contains lots of stuff thats now obsolete in newer Linux distros, so an upgrade to a distro that is something like 3 years newer is not going to be smooth.

Hi reddazz,
Thanks very much for your advice. I think your reasoning is sound.
But I am kinda sick of RHL9's inability to upgrade to new versions of mySQL and PHP.
