So both "yum upgrade" and "yum update" now are complete and there's no new packages. However, when I attempt to check my version, I'm still showing 5.
# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5 (Final)
I remember seeing 5.1 repositories being access for the upgrades. Is it possible my system did not upgrade?
# uname -r 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5.centos.plus
Thanks, Scott

This is normal behaviour. See http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/CentOS5#q8 for more information.

That explanation does not make any sense to me. "CentOS release 5 (final)" means I'm current? There's not going to be any distinction between update versions anymore?
Thanks, Scott

5.1 (final) means you *won*t go automatically to 5.2 once available 5 (final) means you *will* always go to the latest greatest of the 5 branch (5.whatever!)
(I only read that FAQ, too ;-)

Check the output of rpm -q centos-release. /etc/redhat-release isn't updated as in previous releases.

I'm not sure how to read that version. To me, it says I'm on 5, unless the 1.0 is suppose to tell me the update version.

this issue has been covered here on the list as well as on the wiki and the issue tracker. It might be worth looking through those first.
and yes, the /etc/redhat-release file will only tell you what release you are on. and as you yum update, that should move along to whatever is the latest set of packages published.
if you choose to manually branch your machine off into a .z-release line, that would be a manual choice you need to make, hopefully being aware of the pitfalls of such a move.
