Looking back over the list of packages installed, I notice that
most end in "el6," but there are some with "el6_6." Does that mean she's
now actually running 6.6 rather than 6.5?
I've been wondering when it would be best to switch to CentOS 7.
Is there something like fedup in Fedora to do it, or is a fresh install
the only way?
