Dedicated server : Upgrade from RH9 into Fedora ,Good OR Bad?

I would like to upgrade my box with cpanel from RH9 to Fedora ,because RH9 not supported any more but Fedora is supported.


What do you think?

Redhat 9.0 is still officially supported until April and a few companies have already committed to continuing releasing updates for Redhat 9.0, albeit mostly in return for a small monthly fee.

What is with the rush of everything thinking they "need" to upgrade?

Just because an OS goes EOL dosent mean you need to start upgrading.

Which organisations are putting out updates?

You'd have to do a search for that. Can't think of them off the top of my head. I know at least 2 companies have committed to doing this, one of which are also responsible for the updates for a different flavour of linux. I believe the ballpark figure was $5/month to subscribe to this update service.

I suggest waiting a bit longer before upgrading. At least till may or june I'd say.

Progency is paid service.
Fedora Legacy is the free service (nothing todo with Redhat Fedora).

FYI:

I use Fedora. It works fine. I use Yum to update RPMs.
