I recently upgraded RH8 to RH9 , my version of RH8 had been upgraded by the
redhat uptodate program so I'm sure most of the lib's were not the stock
lib's that came with 8 , I had problems but not with KDE , my problems were
with sendmail , apache and mailman .. some of the upgraded scripts were
faulty and I had to hack on those services a few days to get things working
right . needles to say I've learned no to upgrade a production box ..
In addition I've heard that the upgrade to fedora from 9 is smooth . .
