I seem to remember reading a release note somewhere that the way centos 5 worked now was that the /etc/redhat-releases would not reflect properly (man I wish I could find the reference to that). And that you needed to do something like: rpm -qa centos-release For example on one of my systems, I do: cat /etc/redhat-release I get: CentOS release 5 (Final) But I know for sure that this system is a 5.1 So When i run the: rpm -qa centos-release I get: centos-release-5-1.0.el5.centos.1 Which seems more accurate.
