No its more like

RHL-7.2 =~ RHEL-2.1
RHL-9    =~ RHEL-3
FCL-3 =~ RHEL-4

If you are looking at one could attempt an upgrade from to then it would be that


RHL-7.0, RHL-7.1, RHL-7.2  might be upgraded to RHEL-2.1
RHL-7.3, RHL-8, RHL-9 might be upgraded to RHEL-3
FCL-1, FCL-2, FCL-3 might be upgraded to RHEL-4
FCL-4, FCL-5, FCL-6 might be upgraded to RHEL-5

none of these are 'clean' upgrades, and can lead to crashed machines
around 20% of the time due to things outside the scope of this email.

The steps to follow it are the following:
0) Look up on google better how-tos than this :)
1) Backup current data to media that can be recovered from after an
install (USB diskdrive works great)
2) Make a file listing of your RPM database like

rpm -qa  --qf='%{NAME} %{EPOCH}:%{VERSION}:%{RELEASE}\n' > filename

3)  Do an upgrade
One needs to force the RHEL/Centos installer to do an upgrade of outside its

4) Look for files that were left over and why
5) Fix broken configs because versions have changed greatly.

[my guess is that FCL-9 might be RHEL-6 :)]
