Coming from Gentoo -> Debian I am to trying to understand the way CentOS works. In Debian very little happens in stable releases and you use apt-get update to apply security updates and apt-get dist-upgrade for a major upgrade.
In CentOS there is an yum-security plugin which allows you to install security updates only. If I understand correctly the preferred way though is to do at least an yum upgrade every 6 months in order to upgrade to a point release. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
my mahcines run yum update every night. Security updates are NOT only at the point releases but whenever the upstream releases them.
