Check the output of rpm -q centos-release. /etc/redhat-release
isn't updated as in previous releases.
# rpm -q centos-release
centos-release-5-1.0.el5.centos.1
I'm not sure how to read that version. To me, it says I'm on 5,
unless the 1.0 is suppose to tell me the update version.
this issue has been covered here on the list as well as on the wiki and
the issue tracker. It might be worth looking through those first.
and yes, the /etc/redhat-release file will only tell you what release
you are on. and as you yum update, that should move along to whatever is
the latest set of packages published.
if you choose to manually branch your machine off into a .z-release
line, that would be a manual choice you need to make, hopefully being
aware of the pitfalls of such a move.
