CentOS - Sep 2005 - Converting from RHEL to CentOS questions.

I have servers that are running:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 5)
and
Red Hat Linux Advanced Server release 2.1AS (Pensacola) [which I think RH
renamed as Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 2.1].

The servers are running fine. Is it possible (and if so, how) to convert
these to the equivalent releases of CentOS, without doing a complete upgrade
(I want to mess with the systems as little as possible)? I work at a small
company and we simply can't afford to pay for the renewal costs to be able
to keep them updated from Red Hat.

Sterickson,

You should be able to do this following a process very similar to the
one listed in the FAQ for migrating from WhiteBoxEL:

http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=19

Greg

RHEL2.1 -> CentOS-2 is very simple.
See http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/centos-2/migration.htm
for specific instructions "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 AS/ES/WS x86 
Live Errata Update to CentOS-2"
