I would definitely advise those folks that aren’t Linux/Windows savvy to stay with a shared hosting plan and let the hosting provider take care of the underlying operating system.

I manged to upgrade the default CentOS 5.3 installation tonight to CentOS 5.5. The only caveat is that you can’t upgrade the kernel, you need to run a XEN kernel so I’m currently running 2.6.30.5-xenU. Now I just need to spend a little time tweaking the logrotate configuration and getting some decent firewall rules setup to block the thousands of the SSH login requests.

Cheers!
