The installed version and the latest available version. The installed version(s) are all versions of that on your machine ... usually only kernel will have more than one. The available version is the latest in the repos that you have active. If you have your own repo then it would be the latest in your repo. If you use the default repos, then it would be the latest available for the entire 5.x tree (currently 5.7). You can also just look here to see the latest as well: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/updates/ or if there are no updates for a package then here: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
