I just got my head kicked in offlist by someone who tried this OUCH! so I want to elaborate a bit : It is always the case of: "do you want 25 words or the answer"? Many of us, in our area of expertise can get a little too quick and short with answers, or just too much for the common person. while garnome builds do work fine, they work fine only for the stuff that you build with it, pretty much everything else you expect to work with some level of integration into the gnome environment will break, almost certainly. So dont expect for the entire 'distro' to stay 'together' post gnome-update. And thus I stay with what is built for me.

CentOS is an Enterprise distro and rarely, if ever, includes the latest and greatest, for stability and security reasons. If you want the latest and greatest, as others have suggested, this is not the distro for you. If you want stability, security and an OS with a very long life and outstanding support, CentOS is for you. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Why not run another distro with the latest and greatest Gnome or Kde if that is what you want? Trying to upgrade a CentOS box will mean you have something else. Its doomed to failure IMO.
