It's possible to go from RH7.3 to FC3.  A kickstart file with the
"upgrade" option worked a treat here, although the servers were
relatively trivial with nothing much non-standard installed.  Had a few
problems (perl version jumped from 5.6 to 5.8 which messed up some
custom libraries) but a recompile and tweak here and there fixed those.
So I suppose it wasn't hassle free, but it wasn't more than an hours
additional work in my case.  I did this on 3 servers, and bumped another
6 from RH8.0 to FC3.  Not to say I wasn't apprehensive before doing it,
but I was pleasantly surprised afterwards ;-)
