Hmmm.... On a CentOS 4 (upgraded to 4.1), upgrade to 4.2, the OS is 
listed as 4.0 in webmin. On a fresh install of CentOS 4.2, it shows up 
as CentOS 4.2 in both redhat-release and webmin. Webmin put the Network 
Configuration module on both systems. But, maybe the fly in the soup 
here is trying to re-install a module that was removed? Looking for 
centos-release on a CentOS 3.5 install, I see the same thing... 
/etc/redhat-release and no /etc/centos-release. That would be the oldest 
I can check. I do recall the Whitebox replaced the redhat-release with 
wbel or whitebox-release. All of this I'm sure due to redhat trademark 
fears. It wouldn't surprise me if centos-release reappeared as so much 
else has been renamed that way, like all the redhat server management 
programs. Would it create various program confusion to have both 
redhat-release and centos-release in /etc? I bet so.

I'm not complaining here.. only providing information.
