Please excuse my ignorance, since I have not used any RedHat (enterprise or otherwise) until Fedora FC3 (a few weeks) and now CentOS4 (permanently). I keep finding references to Un (I believe it's up to U5 now) in references to bugfixes, etc for RHEL. I presume (?) these are dot releases after the initial release?
Is there anything equivalent for CentOS, or is this RedHat only behavior?
TIA,
"Un" im unsure off, what you are referring to by that. U5 is Update 5 of ( I presume RHEL 3 ). If you have a look at the CentOS 3 branch, you'll see its at CentOS 3.4 ( meaning Centos 3 with Update 4 ). So to answer your question, these are updates to the initial base install of the OS which provide newer software ( at times ) bug fixes, etc. etc. They are released 3 - 4 times a year per build and centos release them usually shortly after RHEL does so. Update 5 for 3 is in "beta" at the moment. Update 1 for 4 will come, 4's only just been released.

RedHat releases updates (about once per quarter) for their EL products.
So RHEL-3, the latest version, is update 4 ... that would be RHEL3-U4
RedHat has just released the beta for update 5 ... which will become RHEL3-U5.
CentOS numbers our releases similarly ... so CentOS-3.3 is based on update 3, 3.4 is based on update 4 ... 3.5 will be based on update 5, etc.
For CentOS-4.0 they haven't yet released an update.
Thanks for the rapid reponses.
I just finally figured out Un = U+number..
No wonder i failed misserably at math.
