with the caution that this would be an update from a much older RH
releases. FC2 is a big jump from FC1 let alone 7.3 (new kernel, new
X, etc). Find an inexpensive old box and begin tinkering. Load it with
what you are running then upgrade as a test run to FC2.
I marvel at how much tinkering and tuning to make a box feel like home
each time I upgrade hardware or an OS. If someone has been running 7.3
for years the list of details will be longer that you expect.
For example the redhat-config* tools are now called system-config-*...
DNS can now be chrooted (recommended) and the setup is different
as a result.

Yep. But like any new swimming hole, look before you leap.
