Well, on the other hand 2.6.18 was released over 4 months ago (1 quarter of a year). So I guess you can look at it either way. -Drew -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of John Hinton Sent: Friday, January 19, 2007 12:16 PM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: Re: [CentOS] core 2 duo motherboards and centos 4 Jim Perrin wrote: > On 1/19/07, Drew Weaver <drew.weaver at thenap.com> wrote: >> Yeah, it doesn't work and they refuse to patch the kernel in CentOS 4 >> to make it work; so it looks like everyone will be waiting until march. > > Just to clarify this statement: Centos reproduces RHEL functionality. > This modification is not being reflected upstream at this time (though > it may hit in rhel4 update 5 or later).

And again, thank you to the CentOS team for this exact tenet! I think we all know that RedHat is very conservative with their OS, delivering consistently robust and well tested products.
