Hello Mike,

CentOS is very conservative with versions. CentOS has the same backporting
practice that RHEL (https://access.redhat.com/security/updates/backporting)
and ntp, f.e., is patched in CentOS when a security problem occurs, but the
core it's not updated.

I have to learn how to install the RPM versions from the NTP page. I started
with Linux very recently and still have many doubts.

Thanks for your help,
Regards.

Raúl.
