Morning all,<br>Hope it was a good meet last night.<br><br>I've
inherited a server running RedHat 9 that I'd like to upgrade. I could
just put debian on it, but that may involve more work than I'd like at
the moment to ensure the new version works exactly the same as the old
one.<br>So what's the best way to update this server? I'm just bothered
about it being secure rather than bleeding edge, and I'm not totally
current with the red hat way of doing things.</blockquote><div><br>
If you want the easiest method and you want a secure server then I
reccomend to do a fresh installation of CentOS. CentOS is essentially
GPL'd Redhat Enterprise Linux and they ensure that it is kept as close
to RHEL as possible as they use the same source code.<br>
