I've got a redhat 8 server, and out of interest I configured yum to use the redhat 9 repositories, then toyed with yum update <insert popular package> (i.e. apache, sendmail, etc) what is interesting is that with some of these theres very few dependencies to do the upgrade. (i.e. dependency for sendmail was tcpwrappers, and thats it)
My question is, is this a bad thing to do, and would it really break
anything by upgrading some things to the Redhat 9 versions?
Personally I've just upgraded my server with apt-get upgrade from RH 8 to RH 9. Works so far, with 0 downtime.

At the monthly LUG hackfest I was talking to a couple people about upgrading redhat 8 --> rh9 and it was mentioned to boot the rh8 system with the redhat 9 install cd #1 and select upgrade anybody see any pitfalls in this method versus apt-get or yum. I do have physical access to the redhat 8 server.
