RHEL 3 vs. FC1 vs. gnome

[Stephen Walton <stephen walton csun edu>]

Hi,

I just got a couple of shiny new Dell workstations with RHEL WS 3.0
preinstalled.  Trouble is, our current workstations as well as the
server which holds everyone's /home via NFS are running FC1.  The only
conflict, but it's a big one, is Gnome 2.2 vs. 2.4.

Is there any sensible way to run in such a mixed environment?  That is,
can I somehow configure Gnome 2.2 to use 2.4's configuration files or
vice versa?  Changing our FC1 systems to RHEL is an option, but not a
preferred one.  Putting FC1 on the new workstations would mean, in
effect, throwing away a one-year RHEL WS subscription for which we paid.

TIA.
