As long as you like it better, what's it matter what we say?

I'm sure there's a bunch of people out there keeping packages current for bug-fixes and security updates.

You can compile your own kernel if you want the latest.

most people here will like the latest distros. honestly , do you like kde 2.2 better than kde 3.0.

i just bought red hat 9 at http://www.compusa.com, and finally got the update agent to work. i just updated my kernal. also got rid of the bluecure desktop, i think it sucks. just don,t like it.

i can,t wait for suse 8.2 to come out, i have for some reason, become fond of suse after installing many distros. maybe it,s the german instinct to details.

later

Only update if you want to update the majority of packages that come with Redhat. Or keep your existing version and update what needs to be updated/what you feel needs to be updated!

If your happy with 7.2, I see no reason to update the whole distro really.
