Now I understand, I'm currently downloading 254 packages, once itfinishes downloading, then i will be using 6.2, presumably i need to reboot the OS. So redhat/centos model works different than Fedoras; where the previous release is still supported for approximately 13 months.
the previous release (centos 5) is supported for like 7 years or something.
fedora doesn't have rollups or point releases at all.
Thinking about it I should of used OpenBSD's model; when they do apoint release every six months, the previous point release is still maintained, until another point release. . Now I understand that redhat/centos uses a different model; where the newest point release replaces the previous point release. Hope i got it:-)
Yep, and this is exactly why I switched from Fedora to CentOS, and I'm happy with it!
