Justin,
I recently upgraded a RH 5.1 system to RH 6.0
without too much difficultly. I sort of did the brute force
method. I downloaded all the new RPMs and then installed them
one by one, saving most of the libs for last. Then I
quickly rebooted. Aside from a small networking problem,
things seem to work fine. I did have to download a new
version of JDK though. YMMV.
Also, I chose to install many of the RPMs,
rather than upgrade them. That way the old versions
where still around (but most of them where unusable).
Use rpm -ih instead of rpm -Uh.
I am sure there is an easier way to do it.
