Has anyone done an upgrade from RHEL3 to RHEL4?
Yes.
Is this likely to break a lot of things?
Yes.
How long will Centos be supporting version 3? I just installed Centos 3.4 two weeks ago!
1 more week. ;-)
If you use Anaconda to upgrade to CentOS 4, you're probably better off. Doing it with yum is tricky.
The only problem I'm having with Centos is that the perl is a bit old. I have errors with spamassassin. So far bugzilla for spamassasin is blaming it on the version of perl included in RHEL3 and bugs in the 'taint' code. I see that RHEL4 has newer Perl packages.
I have yet to have any issues with the SA package I built for CentOS.
