To upgrade or to change to a more 'stable' distrobution

[Seann Clark]

All,

    I am polling for options on some of my servers. I have two that are 
out of date now, one sorely out of date (using Fedora 8) and I am 
wondering what the best path to upgrading that would be. I would go over 
to CentOs on it, but I don't know how stable the move out be or what the 
level of effort would be on that, so I am polling for answers. I could 
also upgrade it to the latest Fedora if that is painless, per say. The 
other system is too large, in terms of file system to effectively back 
up (3.2 Terabytes of space) given my current means, and that system is 
on Fedora 9. Using pre-upgrade in theory would work, but as I haven't 
used it, I am not sure how it would impact the box, especially the VM 
side of things, as I know the kvm functionality is changed just 
slightly. Any suggestions would be welcome.


Regards,
Seann
