    I've been looking into using CentOS for a webserver... just to try it out. I am a big Gentoo fan, though.

    I'll be sure to try this release out though. :-)

    Untested, but in theory you should be able to upgrade from 4.2 via:

    rpm -Uvh http://mirror.cs.vt.edu/pub/CentOS/4.3/os/i386/Cen tOS/RPMS/centos-release-4-3.2.i386.rpm

    yum -y upgrade

    reboot

    Don't blame me. Should work, no guarantees.
