It most likely not hung, it just takes a while. Updating selinux packages requires lots of RAM, more than 400MB last time I looked, so if your server is swapping then it will be slow. Possibly very slow.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
