Marginal at that - you can take a CentOS 4.0 CD and yum update to the very 
latest stuff with a single command. (I did this a few weeks ago when I didn't 
want to wait to download another ISO) Recommended? Not really - the new 
CentOS releases are so that you don't have to download 300 MB of updates 
after your initial install. Custom Install with no packages checked has 
CentOS 4.4 downloading 30 MB on the little sleeper server purring next to me 
to be "up to date".
