Would it be possible to upgrade the FC1 machines to FC2?  I have a
a test machine I switch between FC2 and RHEL 3.  The root directory
of each is in a removable caddy.  /home and /usr/local are mounted
from a separate drive.  I have not noted any anomalies in sharing
$HOME configuration files between the two.
