[Samba] Fwd: Trying to update samba

[Gaiseric Vandal]

If you don't want to spend money on RHEL, you can always look at CentOS
(which is a clone of RHEL) or Fedora.  

I don't now if you can do an upgrade installation  from RHEL to CentOS
or Fedora.   I think not.  But since either OS will support the ext3
file system used by RHEL, you should be able to backup your
configuration files, install RHEL or Fedora while preserving your data
partitions.

Nt.  I found out the hard way that Fedora does NOT necessarily support
the same firmware raid drivers as RHEL.   Make sure you have backup of
your data just in case.
