In a word - don't.

I've run both. SuSE 6.4 is now my distribution of choice - I was Redhat a
long time {since V3, I think}, but the latest efforts from Redhat _suck_.
And again, with the next release, they plan to change everything to yet
another version of GlibC - so there'll be no upgrading - it'll be
re-install. It's almost as bad as WindoZ.

I don't - except on a toy box which I can afford to blow away. My main
server hasn't been upgraded in ages - with the exception of things like
bug fixes and kernel upgrades.
