For all those who are considering upgrading to Fedora Core 1 (which should be any RedHat user), I have found a set of steps that are painless and perfectly accurate. I tested the directions on this site myself and it worked precisely as the directions explain.
Happy upgrading! :p

LOL,
You fellas don't seem to understand. These hosts are at work and I am forced to use them.
My personal *nix boxes include all 3 BSD flavors and Slackware 9.1
As for gentoo, well, isn't that like MS Windows??? HEHEHEHE ;)

One thing to keep in mind after the fedora upgrade. If you are a pine user, you'll need to grab an RPM compiled for Fedora to re-install it. For some reason, the Fedora build poo poos all over pine but I haven't invested any time to figure out why. Anyway, grab pine-4.58-2.i386.rpm and you'll be all set. For those who don't know, the pico editor comes along with this RPM, which is another reason why I throw it on there.

Horsey, you should give links man. If you ever look for pine RPMs that are current, it's not easy lol. An install I did had no pine sadly so I had to look for it. All RPMs were out dated badly and all that was left was the source way. I ended up just setting up SSH on my SuSE box and using that.
