When I went from RH8 to FC1, I ended up with weird problems that would 
pop-up about once a month.  Took about a year to get them all cleaned 
up.  There are probably some still lingering around to be a problem on 
a really busy day.

It can be done, but from what I hear, it isn't the best idea to do the 
upgrade.  I won't even do the upgrade from FC1 to FC3 do to major 
changes in FC.  Waiting for FC4 for a clean install.
