Since rh7.x uses kernel 2.4 and current ac uses 2.6 and much newer glibc 
and so on... I would also install it on other discs or on another system 
and migrate the stuff...

Also the new httpd 2.x... If you have mod_perl running for example, most 
scripts will break. I'm not sure about php stuff, but eventually you'll 
also run into problems.

Best,
