RHEL和CentOS的关系大家应该都明白，RHEL由于是商业软件未付费自然是不能更新的，我们可以通过CentOS的源来更新，效果是一样的......
在 /etc/yum.repos.d/ 目录下新建一个文件 CentOS-Base.repo
#vi CentOS-Base.repo
已经存在的rhel-debuginfo.repo不用理会。
在新建的文件中加入以下代码：
[base]
name=CentOS-5 – Base
#mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever5&arch=$basearch&
repo=os
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/
baseurl=http://ftp.sjtu.edu.cn/centos/5/os/$basearch/
gpgcheck=0
gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos5

这个源地址不能保证一直有效，保存完以后开始下载更新
#yum update
速度还不算慢，享受更新的乐趣吧！
唯一不好的地方就是会把红帽的标志去掉换成CentOS的，不过对系统没有任何影响，如果你是一个红帽的粉丝，请慎用！
