sl6x is a symbolic link to the "current" release.  So at the moment
sl6x points to sl6.1 since sl6.1 is the current release.  When we
release sl6.2 then sl6x will point to sl6.2 .

So you need to pick 1 .  If you pick sl6x you will updated via the yum
cron job to the "next" release when it is released.
