If you do some research, you will find that Hostik helped you, by
installing this great (IMHO) distribution on  your server. What you
will get from CentOS, among other things, are: security, stability, a
very long life and super support from many of the highly experienced
people on this mailing list.

As Scott wrote, you will rarely get the latest and greatest versions
on this or any other Enterprise distro. And, you probably should not
have them, on a server.

Welcome to CentOS and to Enterprise Linux and good luck with your new
dedicated box. Do some reading, on the CentOS Wiki and
Download the Manuals from the CentOS web site and you can begin
learning how to secure your server.
