Hi, I have a server that have an aplication that runs on RH7.3 and in Centos 2.1

Currently, it runs RH7.3 with yum updates from fedora-legacy

My question is, should I update to Centos 2.1 or stay in RH7.3? What are my advantages of migrating to Centos 2.1?

My concern are more about security updates in the next 2 years.

Have you tried running your application on CentOS 3.6 or 4.2? If it's a binary-only application, it should still continue to work if you install the compatibility libraries. That's likely a much safer choice if you want timely updates for the next 2 years and you get the benefit of more current tools/kernels/etc. I wasn't even aware that 7.3 was still officially supported....
