I was in MediaPlay getting some Christmas gifts and they had a number of 
copies of RedHat 5.2 on the shelf.  My wife asked if I needed to buy it and a 
I said that I didn't need to upgrade (I keep the patches up and the kernel 
updated).  Anyway a clerk nearby chuckled and said something like, "Yeah, nice 
not to have to upgrade the whole thing everytime there's another version."
