[CentOS] Upgrading from 4.4 to 4.7

[John Kennedy]

Only going to 4.7 because the required app is not certified for 4.8 (In the
RHEL world which is what we are basing this on). 4.7 is as high as they will
go. I know I will be doing this again in a month's time when they have 4.8
certified...
I just do as I am told...To an extent...
Thanks,
John

Did you know that it costs forty thousand dollars a year to house each
prisoner?...I don't think we should give free room and board to criminals. I
think they should have to run twelve hours a day on a treadmill and generate
electricity. And if they don't want to run, they can rest in the chair
that's hooked up to the generator.
