Hi folks,

with RHL 5.2 out, I might at last consider upgrading from my RHL 4.2 system.
But before doing so, I'd be interested to know if anybody out there did so
already and what experiences he/she had with the upgrade.
I'm still wondering whether it would be worthwhile doing a complete
re-install or whether I should go the upgrade route.
My hardware setup is pretty much standard (P133/96MB/NCR810 SCSI with IBM
DCAS 2.1GB + Quantum 240MB/Conner 540MB EIDE/ATAPI CD-ROM/OPTi 831
Soundcard/PCI 1MB SVGA card), so I don't expect any issues there.

Any takers?

Hello Thomas,

Last year I took an old 486 DNS server here at work and went
from 4.0 to 5.1 without a hitch.  I pretty much did the full 
upgrade, and it was rather uneventful.  (The most difficult thing
was installing an old Chinon 2X cd-rom drive to install from.)

Courage lad, it'll be fine.
(and do you have that wrapper script for RealPlayer?
I must have missed it...)

Thanks and Your Welcome,

Eric Cifreo
