The same things have been discussd for the past 4 years, and the same arguments have been used. And in 2011 it still takes months to release a new (minor !) release. More than 2 months have passed since the release of RHEL5.6. Everyone running CentOS 5 did not have security updates for 71 (!) days and counting... Considering that releases are 6 months apart, 2 months without security updates means CentOS 5 users have no security updates 33% of the time. (Luckily some releases shipped less than 2 months after RHEL !) Calling me a baby is probably the easiest approach to the problem. PS Looking back, CentOS 5.3 took 2 months, and CentOS 4.8 even took 3 months to be released. CentOS 6.0 is a new time low with a delay of more than 3 months, but without harming its userbase ;-) -- -- dag wieers, dag at wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- dagit linux solutions, info at dagit.net, http://dagit.net/ [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]
