I'm looking for opinions/feedback: I've got a CLI-only fc5 machine
sitting here. I would like to use it for two things - serving simple
webpages (no scripts, no nothing); and running sshd.
Would it be more or less arduous/dangerous/unwise to:
1. upgrade the whole thing to the current fc release OR
2. upgrade manually the:
a. webserver
b. kernel
c. sshd server
Opinions? Any feedback gratefully received.
Backup your data and install CentOS - it has a much longer support span,
and being cli only - you don't need the fancy graphical apps of a Fedora
release.
Install CentOS 5.1 and you can leave it alone for a very long time, it
will take care of updates for years.
Given that you only want cli stuff - unless you are on dialup I'd
recommend just downloading the CentOS 5.1 boot.iso and do a http
install, so you don't have to download several gigs worth of bits on a
DVD iso that you'll never use.
If you are on dialup, find someone nice to send you the DVD (or CD set).
