Moving into Linux Enterprise- Doubts/questions

[Norman Elton]

Maria,

RedHat Enterprise Installations require a full rebuild, there's no 
upgrade path into RHEL. Once you're at RHEL, subsequent releases won't 
require drastic measures.

I installed RHEL 3 on a PowerEdge 2650, and had horrible times with the 
RAID driver. If your server runs the Perc3/Di driver, you'll want to do 
a little research before plunging into RHEL. There's a good website 
available for this, go to linux.dell.com. You can find a mailing list 
where people discuss this issue constantly.

Good luck,

Norman
