What is the latest STABLE release?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



There are 3 current releases of CentOS (for i686):

CentOS 2 = RHEL2.1AS
CentOS 3 = RHEL3AS
CentOS 4 = RHEL4AS

If you go by the major number (2, 3, 4) then you will get the best 
version for that major release.  That is all you need to worry about 
unless you want to be a beta tester.  Beta versions are not normally 
considered stable.

As for stability, that is a subjective question.  RedHat no doubt think 
every version they push out is stable, but every version still has some 
bugs of some kind.  Unless you hit a specific bug or stability problem 
then you just want the latest of 2 3 or 4 which will be the most 
_secure_ (ie, will have the required security & bugfix updates).
