I installed 4.1 on a seperate box from my server and I like the looks of it. I am just dubious about starting over with configuration. When you put the 4.1 cd in the server and it says "install or upgrade in graphic mode", does upgrade mean "upgrade" without having to start from the beginning?

I am upgrading my hard drives. I can either stick with the version I have, or go up to the next stable version which is 4.1.1 right? There is nothing wrong with 4.0 except for a few nagging things. But it is just as easy to migrate the users and home directories to 4.1.1 as to stick with 4.0 or nearly so as makes no difference. So what are the biggest changes between 4.0 and 4.1.1? What does 4.1.1 offer that 4.0 does not have? Does it offer anything for student users? Teachers? Is it Easier to administer/update? Why would I go to this version? I guess what I am asking is, is there a faq or something that lists the changes/upgrades/additions between 4.0 and 4.1.1? thanks in advance _______________________________________________ K12OSN mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:K12OSN@redhat.com">K12OSN@redhat.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn</a> For more info see <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.k12os.org"><http://www.k12os.org></a> </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap="">The jump from 4.0 to 4.1 included the huge leap to the 2.6 kernel. In many situations, I've found the 2.6 kernel to be more efficient and less bulky; it also includes better support for newer technologies. 4.1.1 is essentially the same but with some bug fixes and updated program versions. I'm currently helping to run a Dual Opteron server based on 4.1.1, and it's a fantastic OS. _______________________________________________ K12OSN mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:K12OSN@redhat.com">K12OSN@redhat.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn</a> For more info see <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.k12os.org"><http://www.k12os.org></a> </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> _______________________________________________ K12OSN mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:K12OSN@redhat.com">K12OSN@redhat.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn</a> For more info see <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.k12os.org"><http://www.k12os.org></a> </pre> </blockquote> Hi, Upgrade means just that, the CD will parse the system and upgrade the files that need to be updated. Althought you should have a backup of all your user settings & configuration files, thus far I have not had to recreate anything after an upgrade. We just upgraded units from 4.0.1 to 4.1, 4.1.1 & 4.2 without any of the user settings or configuration files being modified. However the dhcpd.conf, lts.conf & hosts files might be reset. good luck norbert </body> </html>
