Hi Rob, The stability of package versions after release is in many ways the 'core' of what Red Hat Enterprise Linux is about. They will be somewhat aligned with a given version of Fedora at the time a version of RHEL was branched, but mostly frozen. RHEL5 at the time was mostly aligned with Fedora Core 6. [This doesn't exclude feature updates during the first phase of the 7-year life cycle: http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/errata/ ] [Red Hat takes care of security updates for older versions. This provides the stability that enterprises look for. It does make running some modern web apps a bit harder...] -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
