A while back there was some discussion about what version to download 
and if it mattered if you used update 3, 2, etc.

Here's an example of when it matters - the adaptec 320RAID drivers for 
IBM xseries 346 servers are specific to update 3. My guess is they are 
compiled with that shipping kernel version. If you try to install them 
with an earlier update, anaconda will not recognize the SCSI drives, 
making it tough to install the OS.

Yes, that has been how I spent the last hour or so...
