This was a big update - presuming that you are talking about RHEL 4 U2. Normally the updates are out very quickly. The U2 update includes things such as spinning new iso's and there are a lot more issues such as i586 support and other platforms as well.
These guys do a terrific job.
patience is a virtue
Agreed. I'm excited (mostly cause I'm using Ubuntu on my laptop, but would love to switch it back to CentOS, depending on what kernel version it is and how well it supports the laptop, but I'm happy to wait. I'm happy to have such a rock-solid distribution.
The kernel is 2.6.9-22
I don't think RHEL is too keen on major kernel updates. Don't know how much backporting has been done to get it to -22
Yeah, I know that about Red Hat. It's the backporting part I always wonder about since the details that don't work on my laptop are things like ACPI support, a couple drivers. Not much else, really.
I think if you're a patient sort (untested), you can get a changelog with something like...
rpm -qp --changelog ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/enterprise/4ES/en/os/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.9-22.EL.src.rpm
Na. The laptop works now and the wife is happy. That's all that matters right now.
