The bump to 5.3 will probably be about 50-70 package updates but this is handled in a single yum update and is transparent to the server. This is very nice... I set up my own yum server here downloading each day all the CentOS updates and serving them out locally. Since most of my CentOS servers (about 20 of them) are on an isolated network and can't see the Internet, this works quite well. The only problem here is sometimes there is a slight synchronization bump when a new version comes out (i.e. not all the packages are there). So I wait a few days before updating or I get some missing dependencies. ________________________________________________________________________ Daniel Vietor Mail: devo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Unisys Corp Title: Engineer/Meteorologist 2476 Swedesford Rd Phone: 610-648-3623 Malvern PA 19355 Fax: 610-695-5524
