Hello there,

I'm trying to understand the SL4 releases so I know what to mirror locally and 
what my machines should track.

under ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/
we have (amongst others):
  40
  40rolling
  41
  42
  4x

I understand that 40 is RHEL4, 41 is RHEL4+update1, 42 is RHEL4+update2, am I 
right?

I think that 40rolling is the development branch that is unstable and may 
change on a daily basis- am I right?

I don't know what 4x is - can someone explain?

Thanks in advance
Alex Owen
