I'm coming in here kind of in the middle, but I find this discussion to
be confusing... In the past I've always found that my centos/RHEL machines
automagically updated themselves to the latest dot-release without me
having to do anything other than run yum/up2date.
Are you saying here that a Centos 5 system WILL NOT automatically
become 5.1 when the updates are pushed out? Or am I just totally
confuzzled?
