Subject: [CentOS-announce] Release for CentOS-5.6 i386 and x86_64
To: centos-announce at centos.org, distro at distrowatch.com
Message-ID: <4D9F974E.6030204 at centos.org>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS-5.6 for
i386 and x86_64 Architectures.
CentOS-5.6 is based on the upstream release EL 5.6 and includes
packages from all variants including Server and Client. All upstream
repositories have been combined into one, to make it easier for end
users to work with.
This is just an announcement email, not the release notes. The Release
Notes for CentOS-5.6 can be found on-line at :
http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.6 and everyone is
encouraged to look through them once. Also worth browsing through are
the CentOS FAQs at http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Upgrading from CentOS-5.5 ( or CentOS-5.0 / 5.1 / 5.2 / 5.3 / 5.5 ):
If you are already running CentOS-5.5 or an older CentOS-5 distro, all
you need to do is update your machine via yum by running :
'yum update'
Running 'yum list updates' before doing the update is recommended, so
you can get a list of packages that are going to be updated. To check
you are indeed on CentOS-5.6, run : 'rpm -q centos-release' and that
should return: 'centos-release-5-6.el5.centos.1'
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Live-CD:
The LiveCDs are meant to be used to run a CentOS 5.6 environment. The
LiveCDs are setup in a way so as to allow running from either optical
media like cds and dvds or from USB keys and other portable media.
Release Notes for the CentOS-5.6 LiveCD can be found at :
http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSLiveCD5.6
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Downloading CentOS-5.6 for new installs:
When possible, consider using torrents to run the downloads. Not only
does it help the community and keeps mirrors from running up high
bandwidth bills, in most cases you will find its also the fastest means
to download the distro. There are currently over three hundred people
seeding CentOS-5 and it's possible to get upto 100mbps downloads via
these torrents.

Note: we had to redo the x86_64 DVD and CD torrent files, so ensure you
only use torrent files that match these published md5sum's
-- Via direct download:
Due to bandwidth considerations the CentOS Project does not publish ISOs
directly from our network machines. However direct downloads are
available from external mirrors over http, ftp and rsync. A geoip
based list is available at http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/5/isos/
to give you the best predictable match ( and only lists mirrors that are
updated already, so you don't need to waste time looking for a sync'd
mirror )
Some mirrors also publish DVD images that can be downloaded directly.
Refer to the mirrors list page at http://www.centos.org/mirrors for more
details Mirrors that offer DVDs are clearly marked on the page.

issued. These updates are currently syncing to the CentOS mirrors.
+++++++++++++++++++++++

Getting Help:
The best place to start when looking for help with CentOS is at the wiki
( http://wiki.centos.org/GettingHelp ) which lists various options and
communities who might be able to help. If you think there is a bug in
the system, do report it at http://bugs.centos.org/ - but keep in mind
that the bugs system is *not* a support mechanism.
Some Friendly URLs :

+++++++++++++++++++++++
A big thanks to everyone who contributed towards this release, including
the translation teams, the qa team, the artwork team, the CentOS
Developers and all the users out there. And a special shout out to all
the donors who have contributed machines, bandwidth and infrastructure
towards the CentOS Project. They make this possible.
Enjoy!
