Jim, thanks for the suggestion, but Firstly: I need a newer kernel in order to get IO statistics from tools like atop, pidstat, etc. And secondly and most important: my boss wants that :)
Then CentOS is not what you want.
HTH, Felipe
I've just explained the reason why I've compiled.
What your boss wants and what you want will not work with CentOS in that case.
Short Answer: You will both be better off looking at a non-enterprise operating system. If the company has standardized on CentOS for long term support they could look at Fedora for this one off and then use CentOS-6 when that comes out.
Long Answer: You would need to basically compile newer glibc, newer ldconfig, gcc, etc etc etc until at which point you have a base Fedora-11 system and some CentOS stuff that might still work (but highly unlikely).
