Morning all, I am a real newbie. In fact I just registered to give my two cents about the release numbering discussion. My vote would be to keep the version numbering in line with RHEL too. I have always found that version numbers that increase normally are much more logical that version numbers that include a date. However as someone who has not installed any Linux distributions before I do not really care about version numbering. I choose CentOS because I think it best matches my needs. Currently I am waiting for CentOS 7 to start with the fresh version but at the end it all comes down to download the latest versions from the repositories, I do not even look at the version numbers. It was a coincident that I found out that 7 is on the way and I decided to wait for it. Hope this helps. Regards, Michael
