Thanks, all
Sounds like I will be installing to a new machine, moving my data over,
testing, and doing a switch over.
Thanks again.

I would recommend:
Look at what each system s actually doing. Do a fresh install of your
chosen distribution (this is a great time to go to something that is not
Red Hat, if you so choose), and put in only those services that you
actually require.
Take a look at other stale data, such as user accounts. Youcan clear out
those people that left five years ago. They don't need accounts.
/home, /usr/local, and somet things under /var are about the only things
you need to copy over.
You mentioned LAMP, so you are basically looking at webserver, database,
and CGI.
Set up a test box, install it, get the data over, pound it: make sure it
works like the old one. Pick a date to do the swapover, then swap the
system over. Do the same with the other on. The RH9 -> current will
likely be easier. the RH7.3 is more critical to update.
