Not so long time ago I was running an upgrade from RH7.3 to FC3.
This was a non-event and most likely this would be the same even
for much earlier RH installations provided you are not cramped on
a disk space.

An /etc/X11/X link is _not_ switched automatically to Xorg binary,
so boot into a level 3 and do that yourself, and mostly /etc/ tree
should be cleaned from various *.rpmsave and *.rpmnew which may
require some thought from time to time.  A removal of obsolete/unwanted
packages may be also a good idea.  Do 'rpm -qa --last' and walk through
a resulting list by date.

That is about it.
