Thanks Chris, you're a star. I knew Redhat were discontinuing 7.x but it 
was only an hour ago when I got a mass mail from them that I realised they 
were stopping 9.0 in April. And this when I have a RH9 server going into a 
data centre tomorrow... argh!!

I think we'll be installing most of this one using source and not RPMs, 
then at least we know we can always upgrade the applications. The operating 
system packages are going to be more tricky... At least we have four months 
after 7.x with its huge user base is stopped before they discontinue 9, so 
we can watch how things unfold and learn the best strategies for keeping 
things running!

I've got a few RH7.x boxes too. Has anyone tried updating 7.x with Fedora RPMs?
