I'm looking for opinions/feedback: I've got a CLI-only fc5 machine sitting here. I would like to use it for two things - serving simple webpages (no scripts, no nothing); and running sshd.

Would it be more or less arduous/dangerous/unwise to:

1. upgrade the whole thing to the current fc release OR
2. upgrade manually the:
   a. webserver
   b. kernel
   c. sshd server

Opinions?  Any feedback gratefully received.


Backup your data and install CentOS - it has a much longer support span, and being cli only - you don't need the fancy graphical apps of a Fedora release.

Install CentOS 5.1 and you can leave it alone for a very long time, it will take care of updates for years.

Given that you only want cli stuff - unless you are on dialup I'd recommend just downloading the CentOS 5.1 boot.iso and do a http install, so you don't have to download several gigs worth of bits on a DVD iso that you'll never use.

If you are on dialup, find someone nice to send you the DVD (or CD set).
