aka 7.2, huh? auka 7.2 would be more appropriate IMHO (by auka meaning Also UnKnown As). Seriously, the scheme is awfully obscure. Our proficiemcy becomes aking the one of MS Windows admins: you just need to learn new names or locations of yet the same tools.
Sorry, I forgot to pus sarcasm tags...
Agreed. I don't want "hints", and I'm not doing fedora or ubuntu, because I don't want the LATESTGREATESTBLEEDINGEDGETIP, I want *stability*, and, since we're supposed to be *enterprise* grade, I want stuff that's simple enough for a poor ol' sysadmin, who might have to explain to a manager what we're on....
well - for CentOS there is only one state where you should be - on the "latest".
I agree if by "latest" you mean either of latest 5, latest 6, latest 7. Still, it would be good to realize what CentOS latest 7 resembles to on the side of upstream, meaning RHEL 7.x - which "x"? Hypothetically, I know that binary only distributed "something" works on RHEL 7.2. Will it be reasonable to assume it will work on my "binary compatible" CentOS? If it is CentOS 7.2, I wouldn't have trouble concluding it will work. If it is 7.1234567... I'm lost (my number comes from sarcasm, I learned the year/month origin already ;-) Sorry about trivial argument which I bet was repeated by many already. On the other hand why I'm arguing about CentOS 7 which I downgraded to workstation use only and servers are being migrated to FreeBSD (sorry about mentioning - this time will be really the last one) as CentOS 5 or CentOS 6 are phased out.
Just my $0.02
