Installing Panther over Jaguar

I'm using an eMac, 1GH, 384M, 55GB, OS X 10.2.8. I'm thinking of moving up to Panther (10.3). Can I install 10.3 (from CD's) without losing any information I now have on the hard drive. Any suggestions, cautions, etc will be appreciated.

You should be 100% fine upgrading from 10.2 to 10.3. It's always a good idea to do a backup just in case, but the risk of data loss is extremely low.
