With an existing Red Hat installation, if you haev a fast network connection, I'd recommend using the instructions at http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch-preparing.en.html#s-linux-upgrade
I've used the instructions for two installations. I've had to improvise a little bit at minor points (and of course, I didn't keep a good record of where those were). But working in the chroot environment felt pretty safe and easily "reversible". You need one empty partition to install into.
