   Just so ya know, I've updated a RH 7.3 -> 9 using apt; it was
amazingly simple, secure and the process was even fun.  "apt-get
dist-upgrade" was all there was.  All online, I didn't even _have_ to
reboot.

   Surely up2date can do this, too, right- it's still just a mechanism
of transport...RPMs are RPMs, aye?
