I know i will piss a lot of people of by writing this. But CentOS feels like ruby stuff. Stuff may work but probably not cause you used wrong version of bundler or some random dependency wont work. Every change becomes a major hassle. Point proven by the fact that no one thinks upgrading from 6.4 to 6.5 is even an option if you don't do a clean install it's your own fault if stuff wont work.

No one said that update from 6.4 to 6.5 needs clean install. I just did this yesterday without much thinking... just "yum -y update". I must admit though, I don't have much installed, but in past I had the same experience... from 6.2 to 6.3 and so on...

Yeah it's not like any major corporations make their living offering enterprise support on a practically identical distribution. Who's saying this stuff? I've upgraded many servers through minor revisions of CentOS and never had any big problems that weren't my own fault.

> no one thinks upgrading from 6.4 to 6.5 is even an option OMG, who tells you this? They should not be allowed anywhere near a computer. Do yourself a favour and stop listening to them. Seriously. Actually one of RHEL's strong points is that you can easily do updates between minor versions and it will still work, even after 10 years. Yes, nothing is perfect and every now and then shit happens, but quality wise RHEL (CentOS too!) is still in a class of its own. You have a problem? Search the interwebz, get on the forums, on the mailing lists, you're not alone.

Yeah, it was so hard. I was getting pretty tired before I could finish typing 'yum upgrade' on the terminal, and then I had to wait a whole twenty seconds for it to resolve dependencies, reach all the way to my keyboard to hit the 'y' key and hit enter, and then it took like five minutes to download and install everything. Major hassle!
