# I typed "yum upgrade" and lo and behold, packages were downloaded from the repository. Everything went OK, despite the fact that I don't have have a paying license. Good job Oracle!
[root_at_rac1 ~]# yum update
... So what differences are there ( if any ) between "yum upgrade" ( which you said you were going to run ) and "yum update"?
Did this just apply fixes to 5.8 ( not in base release ) or what?
We kind of stumble around in this area and get release updates ( like 5.8 ) put onto DVD and then use those as a means of upgrading/moving forward our linux systems.
What I don't want to do is have a bunch of systems at 5.8.Point_1_in_time and others at 5.8.Some_other_point and still others at 5.8.Today ... well at least I think I don't want that!
The whole area of trying to figure out how to keep your linux systems updated/patched while of course staying stable is always ... time consuming. Received on Thu Jul 05 2012 - 19:50:44 CDT
