I am using CentOS 5.0 on my desktop workstation. Are there any deeply compelling reasons to upgrade to version 5.1? I read through the release notes but didn't see any whiz-bang new features. Perhaps some of you can share your personal experience letting us know if you have noticed any differences, etc.
Want to have security updates?
5.0 does not exist anymore. 5.0 was CentOS 5 Update 0. 5.1 is CentOS 5 Update 1. 5.0 will not get any security updates.
http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General#q15 is worth a read.
Ah yes, and the next "yum update" will take you to 5.1.
Cheers,
