Is this a desktop workstation or a server? If this is a workstation  
or a non-production server, why not just go with the Fedora flow? I  
run Fedora Core 5 on my workstation and it's working just fine.

If you really don't like upgrading your OS every couple of months I'd  
backup my data and do a fresh install of CentOS 4.4. However, CentOS  
5 will be out in 6 months... :o) No immediate need to upgrade then  
though as CentOS 4.x will get full updates until Feb 29 2008 and  
maintenance updates until Feb 29 2012 (http://www.centos.org/modules/ 
smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=42).
