Upgrading from RHEL4 to RHEL5

[rchamberland]

Yeah, there aren't any RH5 features that I need.  My thinking was that RH5
would be supported for just a little longer than RH4.  I guess at this point
it's not worth the trouble even to migrate.  I'll put it off for a few years
down the road.

Thanks!

I would stick to RH4, unless you need some RHEL5 feature.

I confess I was looking for a lazy shortcut, but not THAT lazy. ;)   

We ordered machines with RHEL4 just before RHEL5 came out and I spent some
time hardening them.  They're in minimal state, with nothing critical on
them yet, so I figured an upgrade was worth a try to avoid having to redo my
work.

Guess not, oh well.  Thanks anyway!

Nah, it's easy:

Step one, backup applications/configurations Step two, install Debian/Ubuntu
Step three, restore applications/configurations

Then you'll never have this problem again. ;^)
