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.

                -Tom
