Topic: E-Smith to RedHat Equivalents?

[Ben]

Hi All,

I hope someone can help me here.
I have 2 remote offices running E-Smith boxes, 1 has ver 5.5 and the other has ver 5.1.2
What are the equivalent versions of redhat that there are built on/from?
I want to apply some updates and don't know which rpm to pick??

Any help appreciatted

I believe 5.5 is based on RH 7.2, and 5.1.2 on RH 7.0.  Not 100% sure, though.

I think 5.1.2 is RH 7.1, but errata packages for 7.0 work fine.  Those that fail will fail with libcrypto differences, so you know it's a version difference.  I also believe that 5.5 is RH 7.2 (Like Dan said).

If you haven't already, be sure to check out https://rhn.redhat.com/errata

With rpm -qa you can see the versions installed.
I think it's compiled with its best needs (home made) ...is that not the reason we like it.
I think there isn't really a version when you talk about "linux"
IBM is the "owner" of linux...when they are interested...the money flows.
People work in there spare time, and IBM say's thank you.
Everything got some bad sides as well.

I can't express enough how completely wrong you are.
