Mainly the Mailserver, FTP, web server etc? Related to this, I heard from someone on the local (toronto) linux users mailing list that one can upgrade from an earlier redhat (i.e. 7.0 to 9) to fedora by the following procedure: First, run up2date on redhat 7, 8, or 9 to make it up2date. Then get fedora-release-1-3.rpm from ftp.redhat.com. Then run rpm -Uvh fedora-release-1-3.rpm yum -y update and this will upgrade your system (slowly, of course). How does this work? Does fedora-release-1-3.rpm contain yum? I don't have yum, so would I have to doenload it seperately. Thanks
