IMHO, "rolling" means "you don't have to change anything to upgrade", so by my dictionary, both SL's "4x" and CentOS' "4" are "rolling", as they map to the latest "4.5" etc. > 2. Maybe CentOS' "FastTrack" repository FastTrack matches TUV FastTrack, for SL we call it Fastbugs. It is a area for "early released" rpms. > is something like SL's "rolling"?! Aren't both of them something "available before it's really available"? > 3. "Beta" is really beta... and nobody wants to run such stuff... rolling was named after the original RedHat rawhide area. This was a area that would change alot. So the name rolling was named after rawhide iinfluenced by the "rolling rolling rawhide" song. For me rolling means "changing". -Connie Sieh > > Thank you one more time, > R-C > > > > > > Be smarter than spam. See how smart SpamGuard is at giving junk email the boot with the All-new Yahoo!
