Can you please do me favor and let me know what are the highlights of major benefits of CentOS Release 5 (Final) over the RedHat Linux 7.2 (Enigma) as we are going to migrate to it ?
The major benefits of upgrading, as I see it are: (1) Ongoing support and security (2) New software packages and more recent versions of many old ones
The major drawbacks are: (1) Support for some older hardware is gone (2) Several packages have been discontinued or replaced with inferior alternatives [*] (3) Any custom software that depends on libc5 is out of luck
