lots of good info to ponder back from those that responded.
what i a getting at is, why would one use x86 64 bit Centos version 4.7 when
one can get the same in x86 64bit Centos 5.2 or later version?
is there a reason to stay with the older version other than for specific
deprecated hardware issues or something else?
is 64 bit Centos 5 just plain better OR would some of you choose 4.7 over
5.x and why?
