> The kernel-2.6.9-55 rpms for i386 are in 40rolling:



Question time... 



I suppose this is both OT and naive, but as I am coming from CentOS4 to SL5, I have "CentOS habits" in my mind.



What is the logic behind directory names in SL?



-- In CentOS, you have "4" as a rolling symlink to the latest available one:
"4.0", "4.1", "4.2", "4.3", "4.4", "4.5", etc. You only get a fixed
update when you point to that one exactly ("4.4").

-- As it seems, in SL things are different, and they're two weird
names: "40rollling", which seems to play the role of "4" in CentOS, and
"4x". Can I ask politely "what the heck is 4x (or 5x) for?" If the
x-postfixed number is not the rolling one, nor a fixed update-number
one, what is it good at?!



Thank you,

R-C
