However the existing machine I want to use the keyboard on is already configured and running 4.8 (it's a work machine, initially installed as 4.1 or maybe even just 4) and I'm not willing to spend the time needed to rebuild it as a 5.5 machine and then reinstall and add 5+ years of customisation...
How about virtualization?(CentOS5.5Xen+4.8, Ubuntu10.04+Vmwareplayer+4.8) Rebuilding kernel takes much times than making virtual environment.
(I'm lucky if I can even do a yum update when the next version comes out!)
There is no update for latest hardware recognition in CentOS4(in maintenance mode). This is upstream maintenance policy.
