In principle yes, there will be some problems for perl and sendmail
IIRC, but it is doable. I suggest an apt-get upgrade first and then
the apt-get dist-upgrade. In fact most of my FC1 systems haven been
smoothly upgraded from RH9 that way.

Or you can use the FC1 CDs and upgrade the system, and then use the
atrpms-package-config package (or simply edit the sources.list). The
FC1 upgrade is taking care of some special issues like the
perl/sendmail stuff.
