A good way to do it. I had some spare room on my disk and ran the two in parallel for a time, before finally deleting Redhat. This was several years ago; IMO there is no real contest between the two, especially when it comes to upgrading. I agree with others that the difficulty of installing Debian is often exaggerated.
