Fedora Core 3 is slightly further along on some packages than RHEL4; the RHEL4 codebase was frozen before the FC3 codebase was, but for the most part they are comparable. Except when you go to do an upgrade. I've not seen a direct comparison of package versions (primarily because I went from FC2 to CentOS 4 instead of going through FC3) but I'm pretty sure an upgrade from FC3 to CentOS 4 is going to leave some FC3 packages in place. Since then I've not followed Fedora development (simply not enough time), so have stuck with CentOS 4, which has done PARI an excellent job thus far. I would recommend an Install rather than an upgrade, although you can try an upgrade using the upgradeany command line parameter when you boot the CentOS install media (sorry, I don't remember the exact syntax, it might be 'linux upgradeany'). -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu
