Updating Network Solutions Virtual Private Server
- by Peter Turner
Just got a VPS from Network Solutions, it's got Red Hat 4, PHP 5.16, Java 1.4, no Yum and a whole bunch of packages I'd expect to have from a fresh install.
Anyway, obviously I sound like a spoiled Ubunutoligist, but do I seriously have to manually update all this stuff, is there a shortcut, I'm used to Fedora, so I'm not sure what the differences are between using Yum in Redhat and Fedora.
Should I just demand that Network Solutions give me a server that's not 4 years old or is there a way to update this thing that won't take all week?
