I have a new client that is running a fedora 4 system. Can i upgrade that box to centos 5 with a reasonable expectation of success or should i just back it up and do it from scratch? Also will the samba version in centos 5 natively support windows 7 clients?
I would strongly suggest backing it up and building a fresh CentOS 5. Red Hat doesn't encourage you to upgrade from RHEL 4 to RHEL 5, I certainly wouldn't try it from Fedora 4. I do not have any Windows 7 systems connecting to my Samba servers, so I can not help you with that.
