Gentlefolk,
I'll admit I'm about as crufty as that old IO-tower guardian in Tron.
I don't trust Unix updates; they've hurt me many times in the past.
Ok, Linux ain't Unix, but that distrust lingers.
Still, if I had a pristine, only-from-RPMs system, I might decide to take
the plunge without discussion and do an update from 6.2 -> 7.3--except.
There are a fair number of software packages that, due to the age of
the system and the number of dependencies, simply couldn't be updated
from stock RPMs and so were compiled and installed using the (package)
native installation procedures. Apache, SSH, and OpenSSL to name a few,
but there are a number of others, too.
How well or poorly have people found RH update to work in such a system?
Cheers,
