Let say 5.4 goes out today; If I fully update (today) my 5.2 system...will it be equivalent to 5.4 (all RPM packages with same version/release number?)? Or is it possible for the new point release to include NEW packages that weren't on the base relase (in this case CentOS 5)?
Previous replies did not mention that if your box is a server, for security reasons, you should not be running 5.2 at this time. You should be running 5.3 and fully updated. Read the Release Notes, before upgrading.
