The tactic I used on 7.3 boxes was to simply use upgrades from CentOS 2.1. Here and there it required manual tweaks, but more or less it worked very nice. All my 7.3 boxes used to run kernels, openssl, apache and more or less everything else important from 2.1. If your servers followed "minimal install" route, this option might work nicely for you. Just subscribe to Red Hat's enterprise watch list, and install updated packages as updates are released. Needs some manual maintenance but at least you don't need to go through full update process. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
