Written by Mel Kham on . Posted in News

CentOS 5.5 is relased, this release as announced is based on the upstream release 5.5 and includes packages from all variants including Server and Client. All upstream repositories have been combined into one, to make it easier for end users to work with. For more information about this release you can read the release note.




If you diden`t hear before about Centos :

 

 

 

 

 


About CentOS :

“CentOS as a group is a community of open source contributors and users. Typical CentOS users are organisations and individuals that do not need strong commercial support in order to achieve successful operation. CentOS is 100% compatible rebuild of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux, in full compliance with Red Hat’s redistribution requirements. CentOS is for people who need an enterprise class operating system stability without the cost of certification and  support.”                                                                                 

 

Download CentOS 5.5

Upgrade to CentOS 5.5 :

If you have Centos 5.4 already installed, before to do anything first back up anything you care about. Then you can upgrade by using the commands bellow :

yum clean all
yum update glibc*
yum update yum* rpm* python*
yum clean all
yum update
reboot
 

Check  your  new version with :

lsb_release  -a

Output:

LSB Version:    :core-3.1-ia32:core-3.1-noarch:graphics-3.1-ia32:graphics-3.1-noarch
Distributor ID:    CentOS
Description:    CentOS release 5.5 (Final)
Release:    5.5
Codename:    Final

Important : If you have ISPConfig installed on Centos using The Perfect Server installations, you’ll probably have Karanbir Singh’s famous Centos Testing Repository as active – kbs-CentOS-Testing

The repository kbs-CentOS-Testing lzo/lzop package is attempting to replace Dag Wieers’ also famous RPMFORGE Repository package for lzo/lzop thus causing the dependencies.

Thus, disabling kbs-CentOS-Testing when you update via yum would be the answer..

yum update --exclude="postfix" --disablerepo=kbs-CentOS-Testing

Is done !

    Why not just “yum upgrade”?

    I advice you to [url=http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/MigrationGuide?highlight=%28upgrade%29]read this page[/url] to understand why using this method is safer for upgrade. :)

Larry Page is not being completely honest! The manner in which the PRISM program/project works does not need access from company administrators or owners, so called “direct access”; the access to the information is already there. These tech company CEOs take for granted the actual intelligence of most end users of their products. All it takes is a little digging and reading to go from ignorant to informed on these things especially on exactly how the internet works/functions in the U.S.A. I find Larry Page’s remarks just as laughable as Al Gore’s claim to “inventing” the internet/world wide web!

If you, as an end user, are reading this post; I challenge you to research these matters yourself. It really is quite simple with all the “information sites” that exist on the web today ie Wikipedia, & other online encyclopedias that actually list source material, as well as highly respected tech sites and blogs that also list their source material. Be warned: this is only the tip of the iceberg and these tech CEOs know and understand this; they are scrambling in attempt to perform DAMAGE CONTROL to save the company and what little trust thay have left from their products end users/consumers.

Am I a skeptic? I believe someone has to be or needs to be at this point in time! If your not just a little skeptical of the government, tech companies, and the people that are in charge of these agencies and companies; you need to be, even if just a little skeptic. For your own personal protection and security! I know I was a part of this community for over 14 years!
