Minor numbers are update revisions. When 4.5 is released, and you run 'yum update' on 4.4, you'll get 4.5.
4.5 is 4.x + bug/security fixes to that point. The lifespan for centos4 is 7 years. During that time, you'll have 4.0 thru 4.18 or whatever the final minor point revision ends up being.
Basically yes, you want this upgrade.
I'm not sure I understand this reply. If a system is installed from 4.4, and regular updates are done, it's my understanding that there is no compelling reason to download and install 4.5; that the release of 4.5 is just to change the starting point for new installs.
Correct. As Jim stated, after running 'yum update' when 4.5 is released, a system will be a CentOS 4.5 system.
