There was a recent release of RHEL5.3, number of updates that would affect you would vary based on your install, but thats close to what we showed here. If you want more info I've some links below, or you can call support, or your TAM if you have one. http://www.redhat.com/about/news/prarchive/2009/rhel_5_3.html?intcmp=70160000000Hh4WAAS http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Release_Notes/index.html I personally put as much concern into a dot release as regular updates. Read the release notes and then test it on a spare box and make sure nothing breaks *shrug* -greg _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
