I was just asked to install apache, ssh etc. on a red-hat 6.2 system. I started working on it, but it seems a real pain since it doesn't seem to be supported and compiling from source requires me to get quite a few packages to compile.
Anyway, is it possible to upgrade it in place to red-hat 7/9/fc or to debian (debating between them since I already know debian and I don't think anyone using the computer knows red-hat, the root password seems to have be unknown for about 5 years, had to use init=/bin/sh to delete it and make a new one ;-) or should I just make a clean install over it (I'm not really sure what would take more work).
Hi Micha,
From my experience RedHat 6.2 will not "upgrade in place" cleanly to RedHat 7.*.
I would assume the same is true for RedHat 9 too. I had many package dependency issues that RedHat 7.* was unable to solve.

I am tending toward the upgrade since its was partitioned rather strangely with root at 2.5 GB, /boot 1.5 GB and /home at 18 GB (home is ok, but why does boot need 1.5 GB ?)
Thanks
