Regarding this, I know that CentOS 4 corresponds to RHEL 4 and CentOS 5
will correspond to RHEL 5, etc, but what do the minor version mean? As
far as I am aware, there is no RHEL 4.0, 4.1 or 4.2. Also, you mention
that the release cycle is 18 months. When does that put the scheduled
release for version 5?
