The CentOS team is happy to announce the availability of CentOS-4.0
(RC1) for i386. This product supports AMD Athlon, Athlon XP, Duron,
Intel Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium 4 and
Pentium Xeon processors. i586 based CPU's are also supported.
A bittorent for CD binary iso files is available from:
http://beta.centos.org/centos/4.0beta/isos/i386/CentOS-4.0.rc1-i386-bin1to5…
The only way to download ISO's is via bittorrent. Please leave your
download client running after the download is complete (with
ports 6881-6889 open) as your client will become part of the peer to
peer bittorrent network and reduce the load on our network mirrors. If
you need some quick pointers for getting up to speed on bittorrent

Hi,
I was wondering if RHEL 4 already available is...and the CentOS version.
I am running Centos 4 beta but I did not receive any updates from
January - now..and I saw a bunch of RHEL 4 errata updates today.
Thanks for your answer.

tested only on HP rx2600, by me.

Known Issues include a problem with the serial console installation. I
have not found the right combination to be able to install any 4-based
version to rx1600 w/ only ttyS0. Will keep looking for this later.

Has anyone done an upgrade from RHEL3 to RHEL4? Is this likely to break
a lot of things? How long will Centos be supporting version 3? I just
installed Centos 3.4 two weeks ago!
The only problem I'm having with Centos is that the perl is a bit old. I
have errors with spamassassin. So far bugzilla for spamassasin is
blaming it on the version of perl included in RHEL3 and bugs in the
'taint' code. I see that RHEL4 has newer Perl packages.
I am looking for a location where I can get tripwire to install and update via
YUM. I know this is not the most secure thing but with the amount of machines
that I have, I have not other choice. So far I have found
http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/9/updates/SRPMS/
Does anyone know one for CentOS?
Thanks
