Are you saying that simply running "yum update" on a Centos-5.1 system will convert it to Centos-5.2, as and when that is released?
All upgrades / updates in the major versions (5.0 -> 5.1 -> 5.1) will happen automatically when you run yum upgrade, and when it's officially released for updates. And I'm almost certain most, if not every, other Linux distro also works like this
Well, I never heard of a Fedora 9.1 distribution that could be "yum upgrade"d to Fedora 9.2 . IIRC, when RedHat (occasionally) had versions 8.1 and 8.2 they were completely different.
Sorry to be dumb, but what is the point of calling it Centos-5.2? Is it just that if installing Centos from scratch, one could download a more up-to-date version?
