as far as 6.2 and previous, it seems that it has about a 75% chance that
things will not work right after upgrading...  Sometimes it is something
minor, other times I havent' been able to get the box to boot (it was SCSI
and was installed without support via install/upgrade)

I've only done one 7.0 upgrade, and I must say that it seemed to go perfect.
I'd definitely have a full backup of the old system to fall back on if
things are too broken to make it worth upgrading.  

As a side note, if you upgrade all the RPMs, including the "redhat-release"
one, it will practically identical to doing an upgrade, except that you have
the chance to see what breaks at the time it is broken

If you do an upgrade to 6.2, make sure you patch all the security
vunerablities.  As I recall, there were several interesting ones, including
replacing the kernal...

How good is the upgrade?  This is a *very* critical system.  If an actual
redhat upgrade will not work well, I'd rather upgrade package by package.
