I wouldn't count on it. There is just too much that would have to be smoothly transitioned. The move from CentOS 4 to CentOS 5 would be traumatic, to say the least. For my money, I'd much rather image up a fresh box then migrate across to it. I wouldn't dream of attempting migration to a new OS on a production box! Even if you were insane enough to try it (and your customers were insane enough to stick with you if they knew) and everything went smoothly and your CentOS 4 became CentOS 5, you can pretty well guarantee there won't be an option going to CentOS 6. There's just not a way to take a 32-bit system and magically make it 64-bit. Don't be afraid of the CMU. It's not the prettiest thing in the world, but if you know what you're doing, you can make a quick and painless migration. It just takes a little planning. Or pay somebody to do it for you. For a couple hundred bucks, they can do the planning! :) -- Chris Gebhardt VIRTBIZ Internet Services Access, Web Hosting, Colocation, Dedicated www.virtbiz.com | toll-free (866) 4 VIRTBIZ _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list [email protected] http://www.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
