I'd like to move from CentOS to Scientific Linux on my VPS. Rather
than reinstalling from scratch there is a conversion procedure which
basically involves replacing the CentOS yum (and associated RPMs) with
the equivalent SL ones (to change the source for updates) then
replacing any installed CentOS-branded RPMs with the equivalent SL
ones.
I've carried this procedure successfully on physical servers - are
there any reasons why this wouldn't work on my VPS? I can't think of
any but I thought I'd check before making any changes.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
