You
know. Maybe I should go for FC4 now. (We decided to make the best of
this downtime (of this server) and might switch to Oracle (they have an
automatic mysql ----> Oracle migration utility), and they allow in
house (for developers) use for free. AND, the stuff/libs/rpm's they
prerequisite ships with fc4. But I am worried that FC3 ---> FC4
migration will cause loss of data or other migration 'issues'. I don't
want to hijack this thread, but maybe a url or blog describing this
experience, can be posted by someone.<snip>
You might want to consider switching to either Centos4.x or
fedora FC4, either of which will have mysql 4.x as part of
the distribution so the normal update procedure not only will
work but will include updates for the installed mysql. Using
Centos has the advantage of being able to expect several
years of update support before you have to re-install again.
FC4 would have more current desktop apps.
Thanks.
