Vendor versions like RHEL/CentOS/SLES/whatever can't really be translated to kernel.org versions. From a base-line perspective 2.4.21-63.EL may be near 2.4.21.x but some parts are backported from much higher versions. From a security perspective you either read the RHSA (RedHat Security Announcements) and/or the rpm changelog (rpm -qp --changelog kernel...rpm). /Peter > Or how other CentOS RPMs there translate to "vendor versions" (BIND shows > 9.2.4-25, but ISC's named versions are at 9.4.x and 9.6.x, etc.)? > > Thanks! > > Brian
