There's a HELL of a lot different. You've skipped two entire releases:
RH9->FC1: FC1 was going to be RH10 before Red Hat split commercial and
"experimental" (FC) releases. Both based on 2.4 kernels, FC1 was a
significant departure regarding installation and such.
FC1->FC2: Jump from 2.4 to 2.6 kernel, along with all of the kernel
utilities, kernel modules, filesystem changes, switch to udev from
sysfs, a ton of stuff.
FC2->FC3: Incremental update. FC3 became the basis for RHEL 4.x.
FC3->FC4: Another incremental update. FC4 very stable.
(soon) FC4->FC5: Haven't looked at the differences docs yet.
