Upgrading Red hat
Ok .. I really want to upgrade my version of Red Had from 7.3 to 9 ... I have a few questions .. now keep in mind that I am very new to linux .. I am learning .. but have a long way to go .. :) ..
1) can I just run a command to upgrade the current kernel from 7.3 to 9 ... 2) if option 1 dose not work .. I need to download the distro .. thats fine .. I have a cable connection .. heres the questions that I have here .. what files do I download????? .. shrike-SRPMS-disc1.iso shrike-SRPMS-disc2.iso shrike-SRPMS-disc3.iso OR shrike-i386-disc1.iso shrike-i386-disc2.iso shrike-i386-disc3.iso 3) Would it be better to totally clean the drive and do a freash install of ReaHat 9 .. being my current distro is over 2 years old ? ... 4) and finally ... is there a major differance between RedHat 7.3 and 9? .. is it worth the upgrade? ... Yup .. totall :newbie: |
ok .. I have been doing some research on fedora ... this seems to be a better way to go for me .. what do you all think?

Fedora is Good
Fedora works really well and it is just like the red hat distributions. It is definately the way to go if you like red hat, but don't want to shell out the money for the enterprise server.:)

OOOO YA BABY! ... Fedora is VERY cool! .. found all my hardware ... easy to install .. and a really nice look to it ..
I am VERY happy with it so far ... highly recommend it .. |
