It also has a lot of updated packages, including stuff you might
care about, such as a newer MySQL and supported Subversion
packages, and other stuff you probably don't care about such as
GNOME 2.8. It also has SELinux built into the kernel, which might
be useful for you or might not be.
The release notes are now available as
<http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/RELEASE-NOTES-en.html>.
You should take a look at them and see whether you think you'd
gain anything.
Right now, I'm not planning to touch my servers currently running
RHEL 3 or CentOS 3. I will be evaluating CentOS 4 for workstation
use, but I already know that enough things have changed for me to
have to spend some time redoing my kickstart installer support
scripts and update various configuration files. I expect I'll
inflict CentOS 4 on myself to figure out a lot of the issues, then
roll it out more generally in a couple of months.
