Douglas, Thank you for your reply. I was not planning on doing an in place upgrade from Centos5 to 6. i was wondering if CentOS 6 could be installed on the new servers and then install SipX 4.4 from RPM and restore the configuration. The second part of that questions was if one was on CentOS 6 and SipX 4.4, would they be able to in place upgrade to 4.5. I am trying to determine if it is worth getting 4.4 to run on CentOS 6 now or if we should just stick with CentOS 5 and SipX 4.4.
