I am running right now RH9 fully updated on a Dell PowerEdge 1600SC with 512megs of Ram, 18G SCSI HD ... RH9 disk 1 checked out fine, so I dropped in the CentOS disk 1 and ran it. It checked out fine and so did all the rest of them. Is this a vaild test?? Or am I just blowing in the wind here?? Thanks for any input into this matter!!
Any reason you want to install CentOS when you have a running RHL9 system?
BTW, although I've had no major issues updating RHL to FC releases, as FC is the logical upgrade path, RHEL/CentOS is not designed to be an upgrade option for RHL.
Hi All,
Thanks for the replies. Sorry to get anything started. I should have been more clear up front. I have been looking at FC for a while now and I knew that you could upgrade from RHL to FC, with little or no trouble. And I also knew that from RHL you can not do an upgrade to RHEL/CentOS. I was looking at doing a fresh install from scratch even with FC. From some of the stories I have read, I figured a fresh install would be easier for me. Besides I need the practice in remembering where everything is. Like cups, firewall scripts, login scripts, samba scripts, etc., etc., etc., haha!!!
The main reason I was shifting to CentOS is because of the longer life cycle. I have enjoyed my RH9 now for the past 2+ years without any troubles. I have decided over the past couple of months that FC is a little to bleeding edge for me right now. Next year about this time, that is another story.
But though, can I say that by using mediacheck in RH9 and checking my CentOS ISO's and them Passing, is this a valid check???
Anyways enough eating up bandwith, Thanks again!!!
