Hi,
I have a server that has been running Centos for about a year but
I have not checked to see if there have been any changes to update.
Has there been any updates or fixes for the update? I have not been in
the loop for a while now. Thanks!

Also, its a good idea to subscribe to the CentOS-announce mailing list, all package updates are announced there. ( http://lists.centos.org/ ) Setting up rss feeds for the repositories as well, so you could / would / should be able to subscribe to only the repo+arch combinations you want to stay informed about... Lookout for an announcement about this shortly. - K -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219 at icq

If you don't mind my asking were you living in a cave or something? I hope you don't use the same principles on Windows are you will be 40,000 viruses/trojans and malware worse off!! I don't supppose you run Mambo/phpbb/phpnuke on the internet. They have had security issues that can allow a remote attacker to take over your machine. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
