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?
Links to tips and tricks are appreciated..:)
Sincerely, William Warren
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.

Well, I also suggest you do a fresh installation. And, win7 can access the samba in centerOS.

You would need samba3 for Windows 7 support. Try the SerNet Samba 3 Repository. Please see http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories for more details.

ok so the upgrade is out..:) Just need to make sure when they bring in windows 7 machine(this machine runs as a pdc) the 7 clients can connect without huge amounts of headaches hence why i was looking at cent 5. I'm not into using third part repos for cent 5 so if the samba native to cent 5 won't do windows 7 clients without huge issues then i'll have to find workarounds..:)
