Fedora -> Tao1 would be pretty tricky to do... RH9 is pretty damn close
to RHEL3 and as such Tao... An upgrade from RH9 and older is reasonably
painless as it is indeed an upgrade (I'm not sure if maybe a couple of
packages are older, but the base system is near identical), Fedora has
many more recent packages and so you would have to downgrade a lot of
the core system in the process... It is definitely not likely to go
smoothly...
