Uname says I'm running 2.6.12-1.1372_FC3, which seems quite a bit

months so they aren't being used. In any case, I thought I
should update to this one and reboot. But when I run yum update
kernel it tells me I have nothing to update.
My yum repo files seem to be correct, as I've gotten openssh,
httpd, and mod_ssl updates recently.
The kernel update just hit updates-testing, but hasn't been
released yet into the updates channel. I think you may have yum
configured to only use the updates channel, not updates-testing?
Yes, that seems to be the problem. I have base, updates, and utils
but
not testing. Is it recommended that I have testing or am I safer with
what I have?
I don't think there is a problem reallu. If you're prepared to do QA
on a test machine (see http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legacy/
QATesting) you will need to enable the testing repository. Enabling
the updates-testing channel on a production system is not recommended.
