Does this mean if Red Hat comes out with more updates for RHEL 4.1 you will not apply them to Centos 4.1 anny more?

Bruce, there is no such thing as RHEL 4.1. There is a RHEL4, update set 1 (a snapshot of updates, released quarterly). But RHEL 4.1 does not exist. Nor does RHEL 4.2, for that matter. Nor will they ever exist; the next version of RHEL will likely be version 5 (there is no .0 there, either).

Read "CentOS 4.2" as "CentOS 4, quarterly update rollup 2". I believe the use of a minor version number is a mistake for this reason, but that is the way CentOS does it.
