Yes, I did take the subject of your 2nd sentence here to mean RHEL/centos, not
your own programs:

    "The engineering tools are only supported on the latest
     2 versions of RHEL/centos. Of which, the latest one
     is perpetually unstable."

And my reply wasn't intended to be judgmental about your use, but to point out
to others that in my experience Centos5 is a perfectly stable platform for
subversion - to counter what I misread as your claim to the contrary. Sorry
