Hi,


    Am presently using Fedora Core 2 OS, i have to update into Fedora 9.

    How to update the OS.

Is the upgrade is essential?
Why not a fresh install of new version?

Fedora 2 is very old to use.

If there is no important data, or very little data, back up them.

Do a fresh install of Fedora 9.

This will make your life easier.

Fedora 10 already come.

Go for a latest one always.

actually it is always advisable to go for the second latest - not only in 
software, but for everything you acquire.

Not always, think about hardware specs and then upgrade.

Newer versions generally assume more ram and cpu power.

I second it, atleast for fedora.
In the desire for cutting edge, some crucial subSytems could come out  with 
bugs unsurmountable at the start.
But also, fedora releases get obsoleted qucik too. Give a good read of fc10 
known issues before taking a call!

my question to prasath is, why Fedora not Debian? since you used Fedora for
long run it time to taste something different. Try  Debian Etch/Lenny.
