i actually _tried_ to use the ximian installer and it wouldn't go. 
waste of time.  i downloaded installed their rpms, excluding the devel
ones.  couldn't install them until i removed some packages from my full
rh9 installation.  but i didn't mind, they were stuff i didn't care
about.  next problem was it crashed right away.  turns out if i have
galeon running first, gconfd-1 is launched by galeon, and evolution 1.4
needs gconfd-2, else it crashes.  but if i launch evo first, it launches
gconfd-2, and galeon is happy with that.  not the hardest upgrade ever,
heck only a few hours.  less for you now that you know.
