Why? CentOS "point releases" track the upstream "Update x" releases. So CentOS 5.6 is upstream version 5 update 6. The point releases are not a separate product, just a batch of updates to the base product. As soon as you do a "yum update" to get all the new updates you will have a 5.6 install. https://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=34 -- William Hooper
