we've got many Redhat Enterprise Linux(RHEL) 5. and I want to convert servers over to CentOS to save on licensing costs.
I searched 2 sites.
centos.org http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/MigrationGuide
softlayer.com : http://knowledgelayer.softlayer.com/pro ... hat-centos
question 1. In softlayer, they say there are no issue to convert if uninstall "redhat-release, yum-rhn-plugin,rhn-client-tools rhn-setup rhn-check rhn-virtualization-common rhnsd"
In here, we run rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME} %{VENDOR} \n" | grep "Red" | wc -l ==> 640
but, In centos.org, they added some procedure after working guide in softlayer ,
yum reinstall $(rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME} %{VENDOR} \n" | grep "RedHat".
In here, we run rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME} %{VENDOR} \n" | grep "Red" | wc -l ==> 16
Is there any issue if we run by softlayer guide.?
question 2 , after reinstall all package , we found we can;t reinstall some package
rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME} %{VENDOR} \n" | grep "Red"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I removed all rpm by rpm -e --nodep, but we can't remove, and reinstall pango,,,
Is there any license issue if we leave some RedHat rpm in our server by redhat?
license issue from RHEL to centos after converting .
Re: license issue from RHEL to centos after converting .
What is the full output from yum when you try to yum remove those packages? What happens when you try to yum reinstall pango ?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Re: license issue from RHEL to centos after converting .
I solved the problem. the reason is that RHEL rpm is newer than centos rpm
