I seem to remember reading a release note somewhere that the way centos 5 worked now was that the /etc/redhat-releases would not reflect properly (man I wish I could find the reference to that).

And that you needed to do something like:

rpm -qa centos-release


For example on one of my systems, I do:
cat /etc/redhat-release

I get:

CentOS release 5 (Final)

But I know for sure that this system is a 5.1

So When i run the:

rpm -qa centos-release

I get:

centos-release-5-1.0.el5.centos.1


Which seems more accurate.

Interesting that this seems to deviate from upstream. Checking an updated Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 box, I get:

# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.1 (Tikanga)

Does anyone know what upstream does with the 5.1.z updates? Does / etc/redhat-release show "5.1.z" or something?
