That is the whole philosophy of an ‘Enterprise’ distro in a nutshell. Security fixes from subsequent kernels and userland utils are back ported by RedHat and then distributed as sub-point updates, so the system stays ‘current’ where it counts while also remaining stable. This is all-important when dealing with large deployments. > Is it worth me taking a look at the beta CentOS 7 version of the appliance > or should I forget this for now? Rivendell has actually been working well on CentOS 7 for some time. The Appliance however has been problematical because Kickstart (the system that allows automated installations) does not play well with the current UEFI BIOes.
