I might be speaking out of turn here because I am most familiar with
CentOS-2 not CentOS-3.
yum will update all your packages to the U3 packages when they are
released. The only reasons you would reinstall would be:
- You have do to a new install and don't want to have to install as
many updates
- You need the new version of anaconda to install onto new hardware
(that was not supported in older versions).
There are also some small differences you might see but you can fix
these without a reinstall:
- some packages get removed. (For example in CentOS-2 they removed
mpg321 and netscape 4)
- some new packages get added (again in CentOS-2 they added arptables_jf)
The comps file might also be changed to reflect these and other
dependency bugs. This should not be a problem to most people.
