Hi Jody, I notice that the rhel kernels are quite old: 2.6.9-55.0.9.EL is 
from rhel4 update 5 and 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 is from rhel5, before update 1. 
The latest snapshots are rhel4 update 6 (2.6.9-67.0.1.EL) and rhel5 update 
1 (2.6.18-53.1.4.el5) respectively.

What is the reason for staying so far behind the latest kernels? (We have 
a problem with a bug in the e1000 driver on both the older kernels - but 
there are also a couple of security fixes in the newer kernels that should 
be of interest to everybody)

thanks,
/Per
