CentOS - Nov 2019 - Upgrade Centos 6 (32 Bits) to Centos 7 (32 Bits)

Hi all ,




I have a very old PC ( Acer2000) 32 Bits. On this machine I am running (Do  
not laugh) SCO Unix in an antique version : So Centos6 probes with the  
bootloader on this OS and other OS s.


Is there a way to opgrade Centos 6 to Centos 7 in the 32 Bits architecture  
?




Any help would be usefull.





Regards.

Dude, purchase a new computer. Almost all modern OSes stopped supporting 32bit
architectures.

      As far as I know, you cannot upgrade as you would with ubuntu
but have to do a full install. 32 bit images for centos 7 are found at
http://isoredirect.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/i386/

I googled it, and it appears an Acer 2000 is a Pentium-M 1.6 Ghz with 512MB
to 2GB max ram.   I would stick with whatever is working on it, or put it
out of its misery.

My suggestion would be a significantly newer system that supports
virtualization, and run your SCO and whatever in VMs rather than trying to
multi-boot.

There is a group that voluntarily maintains a 32-bit CentOS 7.  I installed
that on an old Dell Celeron desktop.  The performance was so poor, it was
unusable.  Then, I tried the lubuntu distro, and that has been running
smoothly since July.  It is also well-maintained, as there are regular
updates.  Lubuntu is a derivitive of Ubuntu, which is a derivative of Debian.
With Debian, the biggest difference is update (if you are using the command-
line).

-> With Debian, the biggest difference is update (if you are using the
command-line).

Another big difference is the location and format of the networking files -
/etc/network/interfaces instead of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg*.

There is a nice HOWTO nailed on the Church of Wittenberg.

Even a Raspberry Pi would be superior! Were I so budget-constrained, I'd 
just buy one of those. (Reserve CentOS for use with bigger and newer iron.)

I regularly see posts from people with machines a few years old who have to 
custom-spin drivers for their aging video, network, and RAID cards.
