I am using CentOS 5.0 on my desktop workstation. Are there any deeply compelling reasons to upgrade to version 5.1? I read through the release notes but didn't see any whiz-bang new features. Perhaps some of you can share your personal experience letting us know if you have noticed any differences, etc.5.0 and 5.1 are not different versions. 5.1 is just 5.0 with the latest security patches. Thinking that 5.0 and 5.1 are different is like thinking Windows XP wit service pack 2 is a different OS than Windows XP with service pack 1.
So, yes there are deeply compelling reasons to upgrade. If you want to have patches for several kernel buffer exploits, as well as many other security and functionality patches, you need to do one thing;
yum upgrade, and answer yes. Or even easier; yum -y upgrade. -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
