BTW,  I work at an office where I have half a dozen RHAS 2.1 servers,
and so *luckily* had access to the RHAS3 ISO's.
I am testing them on a box now.

So far I am very happy, it has many of the upgrades you would want on RH9,
such as the latest perl and recent Gnome/KDE/XFree86/Mozilla versions.  
And it
seems to be 99% compatible with RH9 
        ( so if you had WineX, Crossover,  win4lin, Evolution-Connector 
etc....
           you should be able to get them to work with very little 
tweaking..)
         also, you can get apt/synaptic from fedora or freshrpms and you
             should be able to use most of the RH9 repos without too 
much trouble
          Of course I would suggest you only do this for the must have 
packages, like
            xmms-mp3 or mplayer for example... )

The OS seems rock solid, and very smooth and usable.

Really nice.
