MOVING FROM CENTOS5

Post by joazzzz1 » 2022/06/28 09:30:30

Hi

I am still running CENTOS5, the websites on my server run fine. But made a security check lately and it scared me.

I'm more of a "if its not broken don't fix it" type of person.

I know it's not possible to move from CENTOS5 to 6 nor 7, neither Almalinux, Rocky linux or any other system. Wondering if an older version of FEDORA would work , and then moving up? I really don't want to migrate and have down times. Worried of consequences.

Thanks

You cannot migrate to anything but you can set up a new system and move your applications onto it one by one.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
