Re: [CentOS] Have not had any updates to Centos 5.5
Many thanks! Installed and now it is performing 118 updates. Out of curiosity, how should I have known about this addition to yum? I am not an active Linux server user in that, Centos just runs and runs providing me with FTP and HTTP that is used to share photographs with others and exchange source code for projects. So, every once in a while, something comes up where I need some assistance, and all of you have been so helpful - and patient.

[CentOS] Have not had any updates to Centos 5.5
I am running Centos 5.5 (2.6.18-238.19.1.el5 and when I submit yum -y update I get the message that nothing is marked for update. Is this correct or is there something wrong with the system?
