your questions have evolved since you posted the first email - and have
been very vague about issues, whatever you asked - were answered.

have you made the effort to find out what the problem was ? have you
made the effort to find out if it was fixed ? an if it matters, I do run
ATI on more than one machine, and they all work fine.

You might want to look into exactly what the 4.x release cycle implies.

Can you point out some of these applications that worked for you on 4.1

its definitely worth everyones while to run yum updates on their
machines, unless you dont care about security and bugfix's. And if you
have been doing that, you are running 4.3+updates anyway.

Not sure how your statement is even relevant here. However, if you buy a
support contract from someone to support you on CentOS, I am sure they
will do lots of handholding and spoonfeeding as well. Maybe that's a
potential route for you to take ?
