Thanks for this Steve.  I would have had a look at whatever the latest version 
is before proceeding. However, I'm running this on an old Fedora 9 box and 
like to stick to using RPM's.

Can I upgrade to 9.1 on a  FC9 system using RPM's?

Also, the last time I did a server upgrade (FC4 to the FC9 system) upgrading 
apache, PHP and postgresql broke so many things in my applications it was 
painful. Can anyone suggest ways I can soak test my systems before upgrading 
the live system?
