I'm the opposite to bleeding edge...my dual boot laptop is running kernel 2.4.18-3 and readhat 7.3. I have been thinking of upgrading the redhat version I run but have been put off as I have most things working on it. Are there any advantages to me upgrading to the latest redhat or will it grind a bit on my 1GHz laptop??
As for my even older PC at home that runs something ancient as it has redhat 7.1 installed!
Should be okay really... providing the updates doesn't screw up many things.
I have tended to reinstall from scratch but that is simply a result of a bad experience with an upgrade years ago!
I never really liked upgrading from cd on Linux to be honest. Just feels very clunky sometimes!
I'll just do it across the web from mirror.ac.uk as long as the UEA notwork holds up ;-)
As always, backup everything before proceeding ;)
