If I remember correctly CentOS 5 beta comes with 1.5.x
Will be there an upgrade RPM to 2.x? (I know that I can install it manually...)
Thanks
I know the Fedora team wanted to stick with 1.5 and wait until 3.0 was released. Dunno what RH/Cent will do. My guess is stick with 1.5.

The current version RHEL 5 has Firefox 1.5 ... CentOS 5 will as well.
IF 1.5 stays or goes in CentOS 5 is of course totally dependent on what upstream does. Whether it gets upgraded to 2.x or 3.x or stays at 1.5 .. it will get updates for security until 2014 when CentOS 5 is retired. (OR 2012 for CentOS-4).
CentOS-4 has moved from Mozilla to seamonkey and from CentOS 1.0.x to 1.5.x ... so, the technology will be updated and safe, regardless of the version released. It may not be latest and greatest, however.
