That would explain why they installed Fedora 6 8) If a provider rolled out Fedora 6 on a data centre box for me I'd refuse to have anything further to do with them, including paying them. You can go from 6 to 14, but you need to do it by several releases on the way and in a couple of cases you pretty much need local access. We've got a box that has gone from RH7 or so to Fedora 14 but that was over the years and no way would I do it for a new install - it would be cheaper to go somewhere else. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
