[TriLUG] CentOS build 5 is out

[Magnus]

The mirror servers were quietly populated tonight.  Build 5 addresses 
pretty much the remaining known bugs and Red Hat trademarks, and if 
there are no show stoppers will likely become the official release.  
It's recommended for production use now as the only remaining issues 
should be trademark-related (if any).

Anyone running Build 4 should be able to ":%s/build4/build5/g" in their 
/etc/yum.conf.

For those who aren't familiar with CentOS, it is a community-based 
clone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 without the mandatory support 
contracts and trademarked artwork, so you're free to duplicate it and 
redistribute it to all your friends.  Commercial support is available 
for it but *not* from Red Hat.  If you want Red Hat support, best to 
just stick with the original (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3).  If your 
budget doesn't permit that, or you have some sort of deal-killing 
disagreement with the contractual obligations that go with RHEL, then 
by all means please give CentOS some consideration.
