For those interested, I switched a SL 6 desktop I use at my desk to CentOS 6 without a hurt... Did : Downloaded centos-release-6-0.el6.centos.5.x86_64.rpm and redhat-logos-60.0.14-10.el6.noarch.rpm from CentOS repo rpm -e --nodeps sl-release redhat-logos rpm -hiv redhat-logos-60.0.14-10.el6.noarch.rpm centos-release-6-0.el6.centos.5.x86_64.rpm yum update reboot, and voil? The only thing I noted, is that the boot screen (the image that covers the init scripts) is still centos, but the shutdown one is centos' Have fun and thanks for that great long awaited release. Regards,

I would strongly suggest something akin to yum reinstall \* and leave it to chug away (backups first naturally) for a while to refresh all the packages and teh rpm database to be in sync with the centos build..... requires matching, same build options for sure etc etc.... In the event something crops up it at least eliminates an odd untested mix for certain fundamental packages like glibc etc.... James
