Re: Any 7 rumors?

Well frankly if you need PCI-DSS compliance pay for RHEL. Its honestly not that expensive for the few systems that really require it. Only  the system's that handle credit cards supposedly require it and in most ecommerce companies that's probably 2 to 4 system's so what's the problem wit paying $750 a year each for those few systems to not have to deal with the problems and giving the stock investors a warm and fuzzy feeling. Your time spent on it costs them more money and ti reduces all the stress on every one if you buy compliance on the cheap.

Shortly after our favorite upstream vendor publishes it? I don't see
the relevance though. If he needs to update CentOS 5, update it to SL
6 or CentOS 6. Why wait for RHE 7 to update? It's going to be major
cluster futz with the the switch tu systemd from init scripts, with
"/bin" being migrated to "/usr/bin", and the other major changes. It
will be much simpler, and much, much safer, to update to CentOS 6 or
SL 6 first!
