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?
