When upgrading RedHat (from 6.0 to 7.2), does upgrading (writing over
existing) installation well?  Or do people recommend backing up all the docs
and do clean install?

There is (http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue50/tag/4.html) but unless
you have some important stuff in there, I would recommend doing a reinstall
with one of the latest versions. Red Hat is up to version 7.2.
Much improved over v6.
