Hello,
I am a BSD user who inherited a couple Fedora web servers machines. I have a couple of questions on
how to best get security updates in the quickest possible manner. I have been through the FAQ however, it
doesn't answer my questions and I would like to get some real world answers from sys admins. I also want to
decide if to keep Fedora on these machines or migrate to BSD.
1. What is the best/quickest way to get security updates for Fedora Linux? Although Redhat mentions to get errata
thourgh redhat.com I see nothing for Fedora on the redhat support page. Is yum or up2date the only way to go?
2. Once Fedora goes to a new revision level (i.e. from core 3 to core 4) when do the experts recommend we update Fedora
core 3? I believe updates stop a few months after the new revision is release. Does this include security updates?
3. When upgrading a Core version up a level how painless/painful is it? FreeBSD makes upgrading through ports a walk in the
park I would just like to know what the real world thinks.
Thank you for any help you can offer me.
