If I upgrade the kernel from the Shrike version to the FC5 version, would it still be Shrike? Or would it just be better to install from source?

Now the servers are running under FC4 but I am considering the upgrading
(without reinstallation) to FC5. The process of upgrading began about
five years ago from RH6 distribution, so I sequentially upgraded the
servers without reinstalling them through all RH7.x, RH9 and FC1-3
versions.

You can download Fedora RPM's and try to install them. Usually, if
the
dependencies are satisfied the packages will work. If the Fedora
packages for GCC require other Fedora packages, you can also download
and install them. Then repeat this process recursively until all
dependencies will be satisfied. However this process may require to
replace many packages and require rewriting of some configs. Actually
this process works (however, it  requires a lot of manual work) and I
used this process to completely update some my servers (those which
could not be physically accessed for reinstallation) to never
distributions since RH6.

Should be, if they've been updated.

You can check their downloads area to see if there's a newer
version
than what you have.

I use apt-get to update via Fedora Legacy, for my Fedora 1, 2 and 3
systems.

I have two Red Hat Linux 9 machines that are a tad outdated

to update them, GCC and the Linux kernel specifically. Would the
RPMs for Fedora Core work (since Fedora is descended from


Shrike),


or should I update from source?
