some schedules here:

http://fedorapr
oject.org/wiki/History

Till now, there is no decision about our current
OS-strategies. I am evaluating all possibilities
etc., now.

Thank you for your detailed response. It will
help me to give a recommendation.

Best Regards

PS: Besides - dear Legacy-Team, many thanks for
your efforts.

There could be individual circumstances but I
"upgraded" two heavily
hacked RHL-7.x machines to CentOS-4, which is from a
software point
of view really the same as RHEL-4, and this was a
"non-event".
True, it required some coaxing to start the whole process
and a
careful cleanup afterwards (both 'yum-utils' and 'rpm' are
helpful
in that) but other than that, which means an extra work,
this was
not a problem.

If you did not dump everything into one big partition in the
first
place then installing over system parts, while keeping local
data,
and restoring a desired configuration afterwards could be
simpler
and quicker.  Selectively restoring from backups also can be
an
option.  Make no mistake - a machine in use for a while is
likely
"more customized" then it looks at the first
glance so getting to an
equivalent configuration on a new installation is usually
quite a
bit more work than you think.  Still with a bit of planning
you may
end up ahead.

Thinking in terms what can be, apparently,
"upgraded" to what
is possibly not that great idea.
