Hello folks, First I'm very very newbie in OpenSuse. I used to work on Debian and Ubuntu. Now, I have a remote accessible (only ssh) Suse Server running under 8.2 version. I have to install apache2 and php5 in this server but I found that the best solution is first to upgrade the version to a more recent. So I have questions: - can I upgrade the version from 8.2 to 11 without a risk of lost hand?
Very doubtful. :-o
- if it is not possible, what version I can to upgrade to at most? I notice that the minimum version available actually is 10.0 (is that right?)
A jump of over two versions is risky (ie, 8.2 to 9.1 is risky, 8.2 to 9.2 is too risky). Current version is 11.0, and 11.1 is due in december. 10.1 and older are not supported, and 10.2 will not be in a month, I think.
- and finally, where can I find a good documentation for upgrading (Open)Suse without losting hand on the server?
There is documentation of changes from one version to the next in the admin book (paper and pdf and html). Remote upgrading is never a safe procedure. You have to know the distro very much to be aware of every pitfall. I could not warranty success. I would either go, or hire somewhere to go there. If it is a production machine... - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
