I use CentOS 4.2, however the machine is a dedicated host located in a
data centre in Texas, so I'm limited to Operating systems provided as I
have no physical access.
They do provide RHEL (which is great) a moderate cost for upgrade,
however it's a clean wipe, and with 30+ web sites, the downtime is
likely to be 2-3 days.
I was looking for a cheap out without the dedicated down time, and
complete re-install of custom software, which I can do, it just takes time.

Ronald

My apologies, I thought my system was RedHat 9. it was kernel

Seems my assumptions when I got the server years ago was wrong, and
it is indeed 7.3
I've been able to update everything to current packages under 7.3
however in more reading I see this still doesn't cut it.
Could anybody provide any good references for upgrading 7.3 to 9,
which appears what I have to do, however a number of sites I've
reviewed provide some misleading info.

Hi Ronald, you may want to do something like a 'yum upgrade' (after
adding the rh9 repos to your yum.conf file) and see what happens but
going from 7.3 -> 9 may be a bit of a headache. I'm a bit curious
why you would want to upgrade from one old, unsupported by RedHat
distribution to another? If this is a desktop machine, I'd recommend
looking into Fedora Core 4, or FC5 soon, and if it's a server, why
not go with RedHat Enterprise 4 or a free alternative?
