What to do from RH8 on?


Hi everyone,
I need advise. I have RH8. Is it better to forget about it? Is it possible to migrate to (no idea) fedora? Or should I just make a choice for any of the other systems?
greetings,
PJHAMVS

If RH8 is running fine and is stable, then you could always just grab any updates you need and keep using it. If, however, you want to upgrade it and stick with RedHat, then Fedora Core 3(I believe) is the way to go. It will mean doing a complete reinstall though.

Is RH8 still updated?

Hello,
I thought that RH8 was not updated anymore. Is that correct?

RedHat are not providing updates, but that doesn't mean that no one else is. Check out Freshrpms.net and also look into YUM and Apt4Rpm.
