Yes, we need applications to work in new OS too. Would CentOS4 address following security concerns: 1. Disable Executive Stack - IE: kernel must support NX feature 2.

I wouldn't update to a new Fedora, if you have proprietary software that you still want to use. The libraries and so on may not be compatible with the old software. I suggest you update to CentOS 4 ( http://centos.org/ ), which is largely based on Fedora Core 3 so the update should be quite painless. You should even be able to do the update with yum. -- Jussi Lehtola Fedora Project Contributor jussilehtola@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
