Hi All,
Does anyone know of a patch management system that will allow us to control the
roll out of patches, specifically for Windows but Linux would be nice too, that
can use a date to limit whether a patch is rolled out.
Ie.
Patch to date set to 2012-06-10
So all patches released up to 2012-06-10 will be offer to requesting client. Any patches
released after 2012-06-10 will be hidden/not offered until the "Patch to Date"
is moved forward.

There are a number of different solutions depending on your environment
and how much you might be prepared to spend.
A few that spring to mind:
PatchLink, works with Windows and RedHat, not sure if they sorted out
CentOS support. I've used PatchLink in the past for managing patch
deployment to several hundreds of servers, (split up into groups for a
final bit of paranoia).
ManageEngine have tools, but I believe that's Windows only.
RedHat have Satellite that patches and a whole lot more but that comes
at a premium. There is also SpaceWalk from them:
http://spacewalk.redhat.com/ that manages RedHat, CentOS and Scientific
Linux patching.
