Why do distributions put in very old versions of Firefox - 1.5 when 2.0 has been out for a year or more and 3.0 was just released.

Rob: This distribution, is for the Enterprise (where the majority of installations are on Servers) and the priorities are Stability and Security and a Long Life, and not "the latest and greatest", that you would find in Fedora Core or Ubuntu, 2 examples among many distributions. The drawback here is that we are slow to get new stuff, but that is intentional. Lucky here, that Upstream is including some much newer stuff, in v.5.2! :-) Lanny _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
