Newer etc? ;)

I am a little disappointed that CentOS5 doesn't have a more recent 
Samba, but newer Samba rpms for EL5 are available from sernet.de.

I agree with Steve that CentOS will likely have better stability. I'm 
not sure that changing distros in order to get more current packages is 
a good strategy. When desirable pieces are missing from a given distro, 
they can often be found already packaged in alternate places (yum 
repositories, or yum repos if you're lucky). I wouldn't expect any 
distro to necessarily have all of the software that might be desirable 
for a given host configuration.
