Hi, I was wondering if RHEL 4 already available is...and the CentOS version. I am running Centos 4 beta but I did not receive any updates from January - now..and I saw a bunch of RHEL 4 errata updates today.
Thanks for your answer.

A number of people have downloaded the new RHEL4 ISOs from RHN starting yesterday/today and posted on the nahant-beta-list.
I'm sure the gnomes or keebler elves, or whoever recompiles Centos are hard at work trying to get a beta out the door this week sometime.
My thanks go out to the Centos team!

a beta? I already saw 2 4 betas passing this mailing list (one in december last year/january and february the second beta?)
I am more hopefull awaiting the official 4 release of CentOS. Does anyone know what the end-of-life off that version will be? Release 3 will end in 2008 ?
My thanks go out to the Centos team!
I reccon..

A beta, a release candidate RC, preview release PR, whatever you want to call it Centos-4-final.

RHEL 4 has only been officially released today at LinuxWorld . (See press release: http://www.redhat.com/about/presscenter/2005/press_rhel4.html )
Expect CentOS 4 to be released shortly... after all the SRPMs are compiled up and some 'Cent-Magic' occurs over the redhat-*.src.rpms.
'Shortly' can be defined between now - 1 week... though I expect these guys are already compiling it up. (More than happy to stand corrected!).
I'm looking forward to CentOS 4 myself... a big improvement and some funky new features. :) I too played with CentOS 4 Beta... I didn't expect updates... due to it's beta status... I'm hoping that Beta users can upgrade to the final version. :)
Let's see how the next few days pan out...
Cheers,
Matt.

*I'm* hoping that I'll be able to upgrade my CentOS 3.3 system to CentOS 4.... without a complete re-install....

a simple 'yum upgrade' moves you from Beta to RC1 ( and RC1 is pretty much the release version, unless someone finds a major issue! )

If you look back through the mailing list, there are a few threads where people have tried this route and you might find some tips to save you time.

Give it at least a few hours [days?]. The RHEL SRPMS only went live sometime yesterday - they have to be downloaded and then it can take some amount of CPU time to rebuild everything and then to spin new ISO images. I am guessing that Johnny Hughes or others in the Centos realm are already rebuilding them at this moment.
If you have a box where the errata are urgently needed (its a beta, thus it shouldn't be exposed thus security errata shouldn't be urgent, but that is a lot of "shouldn't") you ought to be able to rebuild the RHEL SRPMS yourself by downloading the relevant SRPMS from RH and then using
"rpmbuild --rebuild <file.srpm>"
where file.srpm is the srpm you downloaded.
