Johnny,

A minor correction;  Oracle released late last month and SL released
even earlier per the first trouble report at
<http://indico.cern.ch/getFile.py/access?contribId=8&sessionId=1&resId=1&materialId=slides&confId=106641>,
namely:

• 5.6 release history:
– RedHat released RHEL 5.6 on 13-Jan
– CERN released SLC 5.6 on 20-Jan
– FNAL released SL 5.6 last week

We've been running SL 5.6 for quite some time (ONLY ON CERTAIN BOXEN
while waiting on CentOS).
