Re: RH 7 ou 9 ?

I agree with Gary. Don't change unless you have tested everything you 
want to do with it on a spare box, and you absolutly need the newer 
feature. 7.x are achieved releases, that are stable now (bugs and 
securuty lacks have been fixed)
If you need a newer version of a component (ie kernel, KDE, ...) you can 
download sources and make them ( a little bit tougher than installing 
rpms, but not much more)
My opinion is that an installed release is a good startpoint to make his 
own system. Choose a release that is known stable (even if some 
components are not up to date), and tune it with addons or updates to 
fit what you want.
In that case, I can't turn to 8.0 or 9, because 5 minutes after having 
installed it and up2dated it, the system would have become "unstable" or 
much less reliable while installing webmin with rpm, and bugging rpm 
database. How can I trust a system that has a major bug like that ?? So 
I keep going with the old one I know the best.

Could I at least use the RH9 CDs to update my current installation? Say, at least update KDE, Gnome and a few libs? Or even that would be a bad idea?
