The major benefits of upgrading, as I see it are: (1) Ongoing support and security (2) New software packages and more recent versions of many old ones The major drawbacks are: (1) Support for some older hardware is gone (2) Several packages have been discontinued or replaced with inferior alternatives [*] (3) Any custom software that depends on libc5 is out of luck [* due to stricter licensing constraints] _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
