If you need a newer version of a component (ie kernel, KDE, ...) you can download sources and make them ( a little bit tougher than installing rpms, but not much more)
My opinion is that an installed release is a good startpoint to make his own system. Choose a release that is known stable (even if some components are not up to date), and tune it with addons or updates to fit what you want.
In that case, I can't turn to 8.0 or 9, because 5 minutes after having installed it and up2dated it, the system would have become "unstable" or much less reliable while installing webmin with rpm, and bugging rpm database. How can I trust a system that has a major bug like that ?? So I keep going with the old one I know the best.

OK, I just recovered my /etc/profile and fixed my installation. Thanks to everyone for their valuable help.
Using Red Hat 7.3, I just ran across a chance to install Red Hat 9. I remember someone in this list trashed Red Hat 9 without any trace of mercy only a few days ago. So, is it really that bad? Could I at least use the RH9 CDs to update my current installation? Say, at least update KDE, Gnome and a few libs? Or even that would be a bad idea?
Thanks for your comments,
