Lots of discussion around this topic on the fedora-legacy-list.
I maintain a RHL 7.3 system; what's involved in switching it to
CentOS2.1?
I presume I need to replace the /etc/releases file, the yum
configuration and (maybe) force-reinstall some upgrades
Just curious about why you'd choose to do that rather than upgrade to
the latest 3.x or 4.x release. Do you have some canned binaries that
won't run on a more recent vintage system even with the compatibility libs?
Because it's probably the easiest transition to something supported.
RHAS is more-or-less RHL 7.2, and in my ignorance I think it the likely
source for most RHL 7.3 fixes over time. It's the first place I would
look. If the transition is likely to work, it should do so with a
minimum of fuss and bother - binaries are compatible, for example, and
might not even require a reboot (except maybe to change kernels).
An upgrade to a newer release at some point is likely, but not on that
physical box.
