[CentOS] Re: To upgrade or not

...

5.1 is not a different distro than 5.2. If you update 5.1 it becomes 5.2. You don't go out and say "update to 5.2", you just yum update, and it becomes 5.2. Think of it in Windows terms as Centos 5 sp1 (service pack 1) or Centos 5 sp2. If you want to stay with 5.1 you no longer get updates.

are you speaking as an official representative of CentOS?

If you want something from an Offical CentOS rep, then read http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=34 but it is a little dated since it only refers to Centos 3 and 4.

You know that the docs are the last thing that gets done! ;-P
