..last time I installed RH9, recommendation said 128MB ram and 400MHz
cpu speed as a recommended minimum. ;-)

..yep, do whichever is easier for you, Debian can make use of your
current disk slices, you wanna back up /home and /usr/local and
possibly parts of /var, and make a tarball of /etc with
' tar zcvf /home/old-etc.tar.gz /etc ', handy for references in case
Debian backfires on you by not seeing some hardware.
...then let the debian installer overwrite all else of your RH9'er
install.
