Hi All,

I’ve a question on upgrading Centos with the least downtime…

I’ve a centos 4.6 machine, hosting my local Centos respository.  I’d like to upgrade the OS to 5.1

I’ve practised in a VMware machine upgrading it by booting from a CD, but I wondered if YUM could do it, whilst keeping the rest of the machine “alive”.

Am I better to shutdown and upgrade, or is yum really *that* good?

Thanks,

Adrian
