CentOS - Apr 2011 - Many thanks and a little hint concerning httpd on 5.6

Hello CentOS developer team,

thank you very much for the release of CentOS 5.6. I have upgraded my
server, notebook, netbook and workstation from 5.5 to 5.6 and
everything works really fine so far, CentOS 5.6 seems to be rock solid.

The only little problem happens on the upgrade of my server, since my
web server doesn't start after reboot. But this was easy to fix since
this error was known from the RHEL 5.6 upgrade.

I am grateful for the CentOS Project. I like it's stability and
long-term support.


regards
Olaf

I haven't seen a 5.6 release announcement yet. Have I missed it?

If the announcement in fact hasn't been made, you may be premature in
doing all your upgrading.... Just because there's something named
"5.6"
on the mirrors doesn't mean it's the FINAL release version, or that
it's
all in place.

You have verified that CentOS is bug-for-bug compatible with upstream. :-)

That issue is noted in the Release Notes, Section 4, Know Issues:
http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.6

There are other potential issues lurking as 5.6 has yet to be officially 
released and some mirrors may be in inconsistent states due to 
last-minute changes.
