thats too bad because i'll bet the customers will want to update to 5.1. I don't know that 5.1 has anything different, its usually just security fixes and updates, not 100% sure though.
I think I remember a setting for that somewhere, maybe on the RHN or in yum where it had a distinction not to upgrade, only update.
hope it helps anyways..

It's a question of support. FSC does not support
5.1 (yet), even though
the hardware actually comes from Fujitsu-Siemens, who *does* support it.
FSC has told me in no uncertain terms that I will be SOL if something
breaks or I need support for anything and the box is running
5.1.
