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

The only one I can think of (given that you've done it before) is to do
it from the console and not via an ssh-session. Just to be sure.

Thanks, good advice. Although I must admit that a couple of the physical
boxes I've done were over SSH (one 150 miles away) :)
