    Maria,

    RedHat Enterprise Installations require a full rebuild, there's no
    upgrade path into RHEL. Once you're at RHEL, subsequent releases won't
    require drastic measures.

    I installed RHEL 3 on a PowerEdge 2650, and had horrible times with the
    RAID driver. If your server runs the Perc3/Di driver, you'll want to do
    a little research before plunging into RHEL. There's a good website
    available for this, go to linux.dell.com. You can find a mailing list
    where people discuss this issue constantly.

    Good luck,

    Norman
