Dear developers,

I don't care for reasons, arguments, or flamefests. I need to plan my
workload.

By now I have half a dozen servers overdue for reimaging. I can put this
off for another week or two, but not really much longer.

There's obviously no point in installing centos 5 on any new machine.

So I need to know: is there any point in my waiting another week, or
should I just say 'screw it' and start scheduling SL roll-outs.

Thank you in advance
Dima

I don't understand. CentOS 5.6 is out - I've been rolling it out for well
over a week.

Or did you mean 6.0?

If you want to deploy 6.0 within two weeks then you need to use
Scientific Linux.

Thank you.

So long and thanks for all the fish.

He meant 6, that's why he mentioned SL, I think.

You should at least wait "a few days" upon making a decision, see: https://twitter.com/#!/centos

You should also remember that CentOS is a community effort and not RHEL.

I am not so sure about that. If you need the machine up today, install
5.6 on it -- you can always upgrade later. If you want bleeding edge
software install Fedora Core 14. Otherwise sit tight. Hassling the
developers is not going to make CentOS 6 show up any sooner.

I know that if I needed a server up this week or next week, I'd go ahead
and install CentOS 5.6. (And I would have installed CentOS 5.5 back
before CentOS 5.6 was released.)

CentOS-5.x has an EOL data of March 31, 2014. I deploy new 5.x servers
all the time.

3 years is half of the useful lifetime of the distribution.

But, if people have to make a decision and deploy within the new 2
weeks, then I would not be waiting for 6.0 to be released during that time.

We might have a tree with installable net images by then.

I meant to say "IN QA" by then :)
