Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Re: upgrade from redhat9: msg#00247

I did this recently (RH9->FC3). It almost worked. I can say a few things that
will help you. First, make sure your machine boots to init 3 first. When you do
the upgrade, tell it to let you pick the packages. Make sure policycoreutils and
targeted policy are selected. On a normal upgrade they weren't picked up by
dependencies. Look around for the other SE Linux tools and make sure they are
selected. Also make sure yum is selected.

The first time it boots, it should try to relabel the filesystem. If not, you'll
need to boot to single user mode and touch /.autorelabel.

Then there's gnome...It didn't pick up everything that it needed. I had to
manually install several packages and configure the panels by hand. I still 
don't
have the same icons for web browser that a clean install does. Maybe upgrading 
to
FC4 will resync the missing pieces for me.

In short it was an adventure. But you can get it almost working.
