Hi Rob,
just advices :
- install RH 7.2 (7.0 and 7.1 were buggy)
- when installing, put every user datas (user accounts) in a /home filesystem,
so your partitionning may look like : 2 - 4 Gb for the system, 256 Mb for swap
and the rest for your user accounts. Your system upgrade will just be
re-installing your system WITHOUT erasing the /home filesystem content (the
linux upgrades are scaring me to death 8) !
