I've updated from RH9 -> FC1 (little to no RawHide) on three systems.
The only problems encountered were:

Mozilla & Epiphany crashes from bad ttfonts-xxx update
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109537

upgrade from RH9 fails leaving both old and new rpm's for ntp
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110321

Both of these bugs result from upgrade quirks.  Clean installs shouldn't
have these problems.  Remedies are included in both bugzilla reports.
Also /etc/X11/gdm.conf *disables* X11 tcp connections by defaults.
Edit this file to re-enable (mentioned several times on the list).
Your $HOME/.ooffice may not agree with the previous ooffice version;
Easiest thing is to wipe it out and let ooffice recreate it - again,
discussed on the list.

Overall, I prefer FC1 to RH9.

Have fun!
