[CentOS] question about updates with centos 3.x / Upgrade to 3.5 for the updates or reinstall all servers with centos 3 ?
Hello
i have a doubt, if i installed 3.3 , 3.4 or 3.5, i see the mirrors
removed the 3.1-3.4 i have a 3.3 running ....but i thinked the rhel
flavors are supposed to long life (3~5 years) but not understand, i to
upgrade to 3.5 for have the lastest updates?
Reinstall servers to centos 3.5 are big job... or then i have to install
centos 3 with no revision for have long life s.o for get the updates?
Thanks a lot.

Security updates may not work on previous versions so it is not possible to maintain them and if you continue to use them it is at your own risk.> Reinstall servers to centos 3.5 are big job... or then i have to install > centos 3 with no revision for have long life s.o for get the updates?just run yum update Regards Lance> > Thanks a lot. > >-- uklinux.net - The ISP of choice for the discerning Linux user.
