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
So there's been a change since Centos 4, then. (I'm fine with that, I just didn't know it...). From my Centos4 box at work:
$ cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 4.5 (Final)
Said machine was instaleld at Centos4 and kept updated with YUM.
Thanks for all the info!
