Yeah, I might end up doing that. However, this is a system that runs proprietary 
software that explicitly runs on 6.4, so I was trying to avoid upgrading everything.

Oh well. It won't be the first time I make this particular propritary system run 
on a distro it doesn't officially support, they were stuck on CentOS 5 for the 
longest time, and I made it work on 6.3 before they got with the times.
