Hello,
I've checked the ML, but I don't find anything related to CentOS 4.5 (4U5) (missed it ?)
Does the 4.5 will be out these days, or will it be released after the CentOS 5 ?
Thanks,
Pierre Bourgin
has rhel u5 been released? If not then centos 4.5 isn't either. centos releases usually follow a week or so after the upstream releases.

Is there some advantage to 4.5 over 5?

If you dont plan to update to something brand spanking new.. and you want updates for what you do have.

Marginal at that - you can take a CentOS 4.0 CD and yum update to the very latest stuff with a single command. (I did this a few weeks ago when I didn't want to wait to download another ISO) Recommended? Not really - the new CentOS releases are so that you don't have to download 300 MB of updates after your initial install. Custom Install with no packages checked has CentOS 4.4 downloading 30 MB on the little sleeper server purring next to me to be "up to date".

or have an installer that support new hardware (ich8 ?), since RH generally update hardware support on update. for instance, the ich7 chipset support has been added in 3.7, that allow to install the distribution on hard drive !
Other interrest is Xen support as a dom-U, that will make easier upgrade to C5.

Yes. 4.5 will be a new "quarterly update" for Version 4, 5 won't.
Interesting, but hardly an advantage, per se.
Thanks.

Depends on your perspective. If your software runs on centos4, but doesn't play well with the new gcc or applications on centos5, then 4.5 is very definitely an advantage over centos5. Centos4 has been out, heavily tested and proven for around 2 years now. Centos5 is still in beta, and many professional shops want some internal testing time prior to deployment. It's all dependent on the circumstances.

Jim, you have this really irritating habit of being right....
Any ideas as to what will be in 4.5? New kernel? Features?

A new kernel, a few new features, most of the old features, and some slightly increased release numbers for a few packages chosen at random by a committee.

Those who still want to run 4 tell me different things.

4.5 is CentOS 4 5 is CentOS 5
4.5 will most likely be an incremental update to 4.4, probably no new features, or very few.
5 is a different technology.

We are expecting quite major updates and a boost in feature specs with 4.5, including support for Xen DomU's.
