-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS-5.7 for
i386 and x86_64 Architectures.CentOS-5.7 is based on the upstream release EL 5.7 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.This is just an announcement email, not the release notes. The Release
Notes for CentOS-5.7 can be found on-line at :
http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.7 and everyone is
encouraged to look through them once. Also worth browsing through are
the CentOS FAQs at http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ+++++++++++++++++++++++
Upgrading from CentOS-5.6 ( or CentOS-5.0/5.1/5.2/5.3/5.4/5.5):If you are already running CentOS-5.6 or an older CentOS-5 distro, all
you need to do is update your machine via yum by running :'yum update'Running 'yum list updates' before doing the update is recommended, so
you can get a list of packages that are going to be updated. To check
you are indeed on CentOS-5.7, run : 'rpm -q centos-release' and that
should return: 'centos-release-5-7.el5.centos.1'If you are running CentOS-5.6 and have the CR repo enabled, a simple
'yum update' will still move your machine to 5.7. But since the CR repo
already contained all the 5.7 updates, there will only be a handful of
rpms that need to be installed for the 5.6 to 5.7 upgrade. If you are
not running the CR repo, we highly encourage everyone to install and run
this repository on their machines. More details on the CR repo can be
found online at http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR +++++++++++++++++++++++
Downloading CentOS-5.7 for new installs:When possible, consider using torrents to run the downloads. Not only
does it help the community and keeps mirrors from running up high
bandwidth bills, in most cases you will find its also the fastest means
to download the distro. There are currently over a hundred people
seeding CentOS-5 and it's possible to get upto 100mbps downloads via
these torrents. - -- Via BitTorrent :
