Re: [CentOS] yum update for 5.0 ==> 5.1

check your syslog, it will indicate what was installed and when.

Probably I was further confused by /etc/redhat-release:

# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5 (Final)

Which is what the system is. For anyone who stays on the update path, it will stay at 5 since that is the distro you are running. If you are new to the whole idea of the EL process, it might be a good idea to read up on what and how update cycles work and how the z-series is going to kick in for centos-5

which apparently (based on someother postings) a bug.

ugh, no. Its NOT a bug.
