If you get any flak for deploying a newer kernel remind whoever gives you the flak that the above kernel is more than a year old(the one that has that particular fix). Myself I too run on older software, most of the latest and greatest are fairly up to date CentOS 5.2, or 4.6. Still have some older RHEL 4.1 systems in place though(from before my time here). At least we were able to retire the RHEL 3 systems that hadn't seen an update in probably 3-4 years. I do for the most part keep the kernels more up to date though since they are pretty portable and often contain fixes I care about more (driver updates etc). Security is less of a concern in our mostly protected environment. I do plan to address all of it, it's just not a high priority. nate _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
