Not to mention changes in file locations and paths.You can upgrade everything on Red Hat 9 with Fedora packages, which would take care of broken dependencies; as far as I know Fedora just carried on from Red Hat 9, so it's possible, although it might take a bit of fiddling to get things updated in the right order (I don't know how good Red Hat is at package management).
It's got nothing on apt. # apt-get update # apt-get upgrade Use cron-apt to put this into your root user cron listing and you never need to give it a second thought.
What would you guys recommend as the OS of choice for a live production web server assuming not Red Hat 9. The other choices here are Fedora Core 2 or SUSE 9.0??Why not Debian Stable?
Debian testing. Install a Debian base system, then just use: apt-get dist-upgrade testing The one thing about servers is they always need a good connection to the internet - that is the one fundamental need for a Debian system too.
