I understand why 7.3 is supported tho 7.2 is not. On the Legacy website in one of the places where it mentions this, there is the suggestion "Users of RHL 7.2 are urged to upgrade to RHL 7.3. Users of RHL 8.0 are urged to upgrade to RHL 9 or newer." Could someone point me to some sort of guide on how to go about turning a 7.2 system into a 7.3? (Far enough to be able to use 7.3 updates, anyway.) Thanks very much. While I'm asking explanation favors, could someone please provide a pointer into the list archives (or re-post the article) that explained the different major-release and end-of-life versions and what key features differentiate them? I saw it go by on this list, and saw it praised, but unfortunately I saved it for later study and have forgotten where I put it :( [ This has been answered -- http://www.vaporwarelabs.com/files/temp/RH-Distribution-FAQ.html ] Oh, one more: Why do the advisories seem to suggest blanket updates for those using yum or apt-get? That is, things like this: " To use yum issue: " " yum update " " or to use apt: " " apt-get update; apt-get upgrade I prefer to handle packages one-by-one, and would thus prefer to see these commands in the one-package form with the applicable package name. Otherwise I need to dig out the package name from the advisory title or the RPM links (sometimes harder than it sounds, if there are version numbers built in) or face up to building an exception list.
