I wasn't expecting RHEL 5.2 yesterday, hadn't been giving it much  
thought.  Then, saw report about a vulnerable SSL, saw that Red Hat  
had released a fix a couple days ago, and did a quick yum update, and  
got 685MB worth of updates :)

So I expect that I'll have nearly that many updates in a few weeks  
when the CentOS group can finalize their update.

Best wishes, don't work too hard this holiday weekend (in US).
