Mark: If you are running a non production box, give CentOS 5 a shot. I
plan to do that, but having had a bad out of the box experience with
FC6, I will be prepared to return to CentOS 4.4, rapidly, after
installing CentOS 5.

If you are running production machines, then it is *NOT* a good idea to
be the first one on your block with a brand new OS. Best to be
conservative and let others find the problems that will bite you in the
rear. HTH, Lanny
