I can attest to that - yum update + yum upgrade + reboot will give you a 5.3 box, as long as you start from a 5.0/5.1/5.2.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Apr 28, 2009 at 9:08 PM, Craig White <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:craigwhite@azapple.com">craigwhite@azapple.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

maybe I'm not understanding you but CentOS is like RHEL which does<br>
indeed update /etc/redhat-release with each yum update if a new one is<br>
available and if you had RHELv5.2 and did 'yum update' - it would end up<br>
being RHELv5.3 and for all purposes, the same as if you had just<br>
installed RHELv5.3 clean.<br>
