I can't say for sure, since I haven't tried it yet.

If it's the quality product that previous Redhat release have been, then
the answer will probably be "yes".  I really don't want to go shopping
for a new desktop distribution right now.

BTW, I'm VERY GLAD I waited to install Ximian's desktop!!!  ;-)
I really didn't want that hassle AGAIN ...

------------------------------------------------------------------------
There have been issues observed when upgrading Red Hat Linux 7.<x>, 8.0,
9 and Fedora Core 1 systems running Ximian GNOME. The issue is caused by
version overlap between the official Red Hat Linux RPMs (or the ones
from the Fedora Project) and the Ximian RPMs. This configuration is not
supported. You have several choices in resolving this issue:

1) You may remove Ximian GNOME from your system prior to upgrading to
Fedora Core.

2) You may upgrade your system, and then immediately reinstall Ximian
GNOME.

3) You may upgrade your system, and then immediately remove all
remaining Ximian RPMs, replacing them with the corresponding Fedora Core
RPMs.

You must resolve the version overlap using one of the above choices.
Failure to do so will result in an unstable GNOME configuration.
