I'll probably consider doing a fresh install...
Thanks!

Hello all!
I'm new to the list. I just upgraded 3 White Box Linux servers (database, application and internet) yesterday to Centos 3.4 using the info in
http://centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=19.
Very easy, and that was a very helpfull document!
The decision was based in the speed of updates, really much faster in Centos! Is there a similar way to upgrade a Fedora Core 1 server to Centos 3.4? Would it be possible? I saw some messages in the list about it (archives) but I don't know if in the time the version of Centos was 3.4, and some people said that it whas not possible because would be a downgrade of some packages...

FC1 is newer than CentOS-3.x ... so it would be a downgrade....which, as you can imagine, isn't nearly as easy as an upgrade.
You could use the CD install with "linux upgradeany" and select upgrade (or a yum upgrade) and then do a:
rpm -qa --queryformat "%{name} %{vendor}\n"
to see what is still fedora and what is centos ... then force install the proper replacement.
Might be easier and faster to just install on a new machine and migrate over (or full backup / migration) if possible.
