Can someone explain what's important here for a very basic Linode user?

An updated version of Python amongst other updated packages. Will probably make installing certain software not so much of a pain in the rear.

Having just spent the better part of a day setting up Django on a Centos 5.5 machine I am doing a happy dance at this news. The amount of work to get things up and running is truly painful. Especially if you are on a x64 system.

Red Hat without the licence. A stable, conservative flavour of Linux.

A completely reworked security framework; among other major changes. We've had a RHEL 6 installation for a few months and are still working thru the changes. Basic Linode users might want to wait unless you really need the Python updates.
