Hello,
I've been reading the CentOS's FAQs, and saw this: How long will CentOS-4 updates be supported? We intend to support CentOS-4 updates until Feb 29, 2012.
Would someone tell me what will happen after that?
you upgrade to a newer version
Correct ...
That is when the upstream provider stops doing updates ... so we also stop doing updates as well.
The entire CentOS-4 distro would then move to the vault (http://vault.centos.org)
By that time ... in 6 years ... there should be a CentOS-5 and CentOS-6 and CentOS-7 active (based on an 18 month release cycle ... that is dependent upon the upstream provider).
Regarding this, I know that CentOS 4 corresponds to RHEL 4 and CentOS 5 will correspond to RHEL 5, etc, but what do the minor version mean? As far as I am aware, there is no RHEL 4.0, 4.1 or 4.2. Also, you mention that the release cycle is 18 months. When does that put the scheduled release for version 5?
