If I want to make a fresh install, I have to stop the mail server during several hours (install the OS, configure Postfix, spamassassin, .....) or days, it is not possible for my campany. So, what is the less bad solution to upgrade my server ? Thanks for your advices. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> two options: 1. yum update from fc6->f7 then f7->f8. I've done it on multiple servers w/very few problems. YMMV 2. If you're going to be setting up long-running servers consider using RHEL or Centos which make update/security guarantees. -sv </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
