I did in fact look on the Centos web-site, and I deduced from that (possibly wrongly) that Centos-5.2 was to be released a couple of days ago. When I say I am a complete newbie, I should say that my server has been running under Centos-5.1 for several months. I haven't had to do anything to it, so in that sense I am a newbie. I have been running Fedora on my laptops since Fedora first came out, so am reasonably familiar with the general setup. I like to keep reasonably up-to-date with distributions I am running, so would like to update to Centos-5.2 as and when it is released. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
