Hi Gary,

Redhat sortof expects people to upgrade to the x.2 version when it becomes
available. If you are running 6.1, the upgrades for 6.1 will work. Mostly.
There are some library issues to watch out for. If you try to rpm -Uvh
<upgrade>.rpm and the package needs something you don't have, it will warn
you and tell you what you need. Upgrading to 6.2 (from 6.1) is actually
trivial. The only thing that doesn't get upgraded (that should) is
/etc/version which says which redhat version you are running.

Bear in mind, the .2 versions of most everything redhat have been quite
good. The .0 versions have been somwhat experimental. The .1 version are
.0's with lots of bug squashing and new prep work for the upcomming .2
release.

I have had moderate success going up from a .2 to a .0 and good success
from a .0 to a .1 and great success from .1 to .2.
