I am currently running CentOS 4.5 (which, through many Yum updates) now appears to be CentOD 4.8.
4.8 is still rather old, but I havbe lots of stuff (files and stuff installed). I would like to install Fedora but I am worried about losing all the stuff I have. I would have to back everything up, uninstall/reinstall things, etc. I am wondering whether there is some way to upgrade to Fedora from CentOS without just having to reinstall everything?
<shameless self-promotion> I wrote an article that was published in SysAdmin, before it went under. http://24.5-cent.us/upgrading_linux.doc
And as others have said, /home, and maybe /opt, should *always* be other drives, or at least other partitions....
