Now on centos 5.1
My VPS server is now on CentOS 5.1, moved up from CentOS 4.6.
My server is hosted on RapidVPS.com, a virtual hosting provider. Since going to CentOS 5 is a major upgrade, the safest way to do it was to create a new virtual server, install it clean with CentOS 5.1, and migrate services over one by one.
I love virtual servers. Doing the migration by creating a new server was much less stressful and less hassle than upgrading a physical server in place.
The cost was creating another virtual server, but I could do that for extra $12 a month on RapidVPS. And once the migration is done, I kill the older server and go back to paying for a single server.
