Dear developers, I don't care for reasons, arguments, or flamefests. I need to plan my workload. By now I have half a dozen servers overdue for reimaging. I can put this off for another week or two, but not really much longer. There's obviously no point in installing centos 5 on any new machine. So I need to know: is there any point in my waiting another week, or should I just say 'screw it' and start scheduling SL roll-outs.

CentOS 5.6 is out - I've been rolling it out for well over a week. Or did you mean 6.0? mark

If you need the machine up today, install 5.6 on it -- you can always upgrade later. If you want bleeding edge software install Fedora Core 14. Otherwise sit tight. Hassling the developers is not going to make CentOS 6 show up any sooner. I know that if I needed a server up this week or next week, I'd go ahead and install CentOS 5.6. (And I would have installed CentOS 5.5 back before CentOS 5.6 was released.)> > So I need to know: is there any point in my waiting another week, or > should I just say 'screw it' and start scheduling SL roll-outs. > > Thank you in advance > Dima > > Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (GNU/Linux) > Comment: Using GnuPG with CentOS - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ > > iD8DBQFNuaMGxzG8ttqkbbgRAuiFAJ4lVycU9++LqKXw1DeRsWJpDg9efACgs8tH > pAMbztLgMdUblZ4QJ/6lXgw> =c4yp > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > MIME-Version: 1.0 > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > >-- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 / heller at deepsoft.com Deepwoods Software -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ () ascii ribbon campaign -- against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org -- against proprietary attachments
