I am a newbie at Linux and RH 8.0. But just as I installed 8.0, 2 weeks ago, 9.0 comes out. I was just wondering, now that I've just set all my little features the way I like it, I'd hate to have to resetup all that crap. Is there a way for me to transfer those settings to 9.0 if I reinstalled 9.0, and got rid of 8.0 entirely?

Wait let me clarify, a reasonably easy way.

If your /home directory is on a partition other than the one that your root ("/") directory is on, then you should be able to go ahead and change distros without fear of losing any settings. But if the redhat 9 CDs have some kind of opgrade option then you could just try that and see what happens.
