I've been using Rh since 5.X.
When I started deploying linux for more general mail/internet use I used, 7.0, 7.1,7.2,7.3, 8, 9
Then I just blew a fuse. No way could i hope to update and maintain these sites. For while I just sat and suffered, then I heard about gentoo.
Even so, I have a dozen gentoo sites doing a system level upgrade weekly.
Gentoo is not universally appropiate, however I'm off the hamster wheel of RH updates (same comment for all the others i've not tried)
Self updating software is great!
I think back on RH like I think of bell bottemed jeans, Fun, but really!

We ditched RedHat at version 9.0, went to Mandrake. The urpmi tools have us doing updates as much as twice per week if we like from our local mirror. I had been using RedHat server side since version 4.2, but started using Debian client side while RedHat 6.2 was on the servers. Better package management with automatic dependency resolution is definitely the way to go these days. There's really no excuse to not have it. Urpmi or apt makes full version upgrades a breeze.
Play it again, sam Posted Apr 14, 2005 16:53 UTC (Thu) by skvidal (subscriber, #3094) [Link] red hat has had up2date and yum for a long, long, long time now.
yum was available for rhl 7.2 and up2date has been in there since rhl 7.0, iirc.
Those auto-satisify dependencies and update systems.

(And it's just a dump/restore cycle. No harder than any other x.y upgrade of PostgreSQL.)
