I have (1) rh8 server just running samba file and print services & nfs. 
Can you give a brief  description  on doing a inplace
migration from rh8.0 -> 9.0  I've been researching this option today and 
not really clear. I have yum installed  and apt  will be installed this 
weekend.  I have tape backup (amanda) on another server. Another  other 
key question is how much free disk space do I need, current partitioning 
scheme is as follows:

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda7             486M  181M  280M  40% /
/dev/hda1              99M   24M   70M  26% /boot
/dev/hda2             3.8G  1.1G  2.5G  30% /home
/dev/hda8              99M  4.1M   89M   5% /tmp
