Laptop strategy: RH7 -> Woody

[Mark Gillingham <markgill@uwalumni.com>]

I like the way my old RH7.3 disc is able to identify SUB and NIC on AST 
Ascentia M Series laptops that I have in our dust bin. Of course I want 
the ease of Debian's package management too. Is it a good strategy to 
install a base system using my RH7.3 disc and then switch to Debian? 
Should I do more than load apt-get? What problems will I encounter?
