Anybody in favor of calling CentOS 5 "CentOS 5". No minor versions
added. The way Red Hat is doing it. This 3.x and 4.x thing just
confuses people.
Scott, once you install 3.5 and apply all security patches and other
bug fixes, you'll end up with 3.8. So why not save yourself some
bandwith and simply install from 3.8 media? No matter if you install
from 3.5 or 3.8 media, you'll be effectively running CentOS 3. It's
just that in later case (3.5) you'll have more security holes in your
system.
To answer you question, yes, you can download old media from
vault.centos.org. But that is just a bandwith vaster, IMO. Even if
you have a big fat pipe connecting you to the internet, like the MIT
has.
