Hello,

Got a question, will CentOS6.1 continue to be supported with updates, or is it mandatory to upgrade to 6.2?

6.2 is an update. So if you do an 'yum update', you will see a lot of packages being updated, and you will be automatically at 6.2. Why would you stay at 6.1 ? During all the life of a major version, 6.x for example, there are the same versions of packages, only with updates.

For information, Scientific Linux does not work this way. You stay at a point version, 6.1 for example, and get updates for this point release (as CR repository). You have to ask explicitly to upgrade to next point release.
