Thanks, but the issue is not the migration as such, but the ongoing mnaintenance. Under the old Red Hat Network, we could have a 'reactive' system, where we would be notified of critical patches/updates, and the 'trained monkey' would be told to run 'up2date' and everything would be handled automatically. The thing that is not clear from the website is whether there is anything resembling this mechanism in 'Fedora'. How much smarter must our volunteers be to handle updates? - C
