No. Debian is famous for having old packages, but the other distros are
pretty up-to-date. RedHat7.2 is kind of old itself; SuSE released 8.0
only a few months ago, and there is a beta of 8.1 in illicit circulation
(I think that SuSE is trying to stick to one release every 6 months).
These distros should have pretty up-to-date packages.
